What is PF Registration ?
The PF Registration Certificate is an official document issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) that confirms an establishment’s registration under the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. It authorizes the employer to deduct and deposit Provident Fund contributions on behalf of employees and provides a unique PF Establishment Code for all statutory compliances. This certificate ensures employees receive social security benefits such as retirement savings, pension, and insurance coverage, while helping employers remain legally compliant with labour laws in India.
