PF Registration is mandatory for all the establishments-

  • That has engaged 20 or more than 20 people.
  • For any other establishment that has less than 20 people then the central government has to specify the same in the notification on the behalf.

For Employee

Employees drawing less than Rs.15000 per month need to mandatorily become members of the EPF. According to the guidelines, employees whose basic pay is more than Rs. 15000 a month at the time of joining are not required to make any PF contributions.

But an employee who is drawing pay of more than Rs.15,000 can still be a member and make contributions with the employer and the Assistant PF commissioner.
