Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

PF registration is mandatory for every Delhi establishment - factory, shop, office, or commercial entity - employing 20 or more persons under Section 1(3) of the EPF Act. The count includes all employees: permanent, temporary, contractual, part-time, and probationary. Once the threshold is crossed, registration must be completed within one month.

Manufacturing units in Okhla Industrial Area, Naraina Industrial Area, and Wazirpur Industrial Area are among the highest-density PF registrations in Delhi. IT and BPO companies in Nehru Place and Connaught Place, hospitality establishments in Aerocity, security agencies, construction companies, and retail chains all require PF registration once they cross 20 employees.

Delhi startups that grow rapidly often cross the 20-employee mark within the first 1-2 years. Establishments with fewer than 20 employees may opt for voluntary PF registration under Section 1(4). Delhi businesses entering trade may also need Startup Registration and GST Registration.

• PAN Card of the Establishment - Company PAN for Pvt Ltd/LLP/OPC. Proprietor's PAN for proprietorship.
• Certificate of Registration - Certificate of Incorporation (RoC Delhi), GST certificate, or registration under Delhi Shops & Establishments Act.
• Address Proof - Electricity bill, rent agreement, or property tax receipt of Delhi business premises.
• Bank Details - Cancelled cheque or bank statement of establishment's current account.
• Digital Signature Certificate (Class 3) - In the name of the authorised signatory.
• Employee Details - List with names, Aadhaar, PAN, date of joining, designation, and monthly basic wages + DA.
• Memorandum and Articles of Association - For companies registered with RoC Delhi. Partnership deed for firms.

Governing Act: Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952

Key Sections: Section 1(3) (applicability - 20+ employees), Section 6 (contribution rates), Section 7A (determination of dues), Section 7Q (interest on late payment), Section 14 (offences - imprisonment up to 1 year), Section 14B (damages for late contribution)

Contribution Rates: Employee 12% + Employer 12% of basic wages + DA. Employer's 12% split: 3.67% EPF + 8.33% EPS (capped at Rs 15,000 wages) + 0.50% EDLI. Admin charges ~0.50%.

Wage Ceiling (EPS): Rs 15,000/month. Supreme Court on 5 January 2026 labelled this ceiling as arbitrary and directed revision within 4 months.

Monthly Deposit: By 15th of following month via ECR on EPFO portal. Late deposit attracts interest under Section 7Q and damages under Section 14B.

Once Covered, Always Covered: Even if employee count drops below 20, the establishment remains under EPF Act.

EPFO Delhi: RO South & West: EPFO Complex, Plot 23, Sector 23, Dwarka - 110077. RO East: DSIIDC Building, Jhilmil - 110095. HQ: East Kidwai Nagar - 110023. Helpline: 1800118005.

Delhi employers with 20+ employees must register for PF within one month of crossing the threshold. Every day beyond this window accumulates interest and damages liability on all unpaid contributions from the original applicability date. EPFO's Delhi Regional Offices at Dwarka and Jhilmil conduct active inspections.

With the Supreme Court directing revision of the Rs 15,000 EPS wage ceiling in January 2026, PF compliance is under heightened scrutiny.
