Overview

✔ The Provident Fund (PF) is a government-initiated savings scheme designed to provide financial support to employees in India during retirement, periods of unemployment, or unforeseen financial needs.

✔ Registering for PF is a mandatory and pretty simple process for businesses, requiring contributions from both the employer and employee based on a percentage of the employee’s salary.

✔ Employers are obligated to register their organization and employees under the PF scheme and ensure timely deposits into the fund on behalf of their staff.

✔ Employees may also opt to make additional voluntary contributions, and withdrawals from the PF account are allowed after completing a minimum service period or under specific financial emergencies.
