✔ 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.
Companies with more than 20 employees must register for the Provident Fund (PF) scheme and contribute to their employees’ PF accounts.
Both the employee and employer contribute 12% of the employee’s salary (basic + DA) to the PF account.
The PF account earns interest on the combined contributions made by both employee and employer.
Employee contributions to PF are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Employees can withdraw their PF balance:
● After completing a minimum of 5 years of service, or
● In specific cases such as medical emergencies, home purchase, or financial hardship.
The PF account is portable, allowing employees to transfer it when changing jobs, thus maintaining continuity and helping accumulate long-term savings.
