PF Registration
The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory social security scheme in India for most salaried employees. It helps them accumulate savings for retirement and provides financial security in case of contingencies like disability or death. Companies with eligible employees need to register for EPF and ensure regular contributions.
