PF Registration and EPFO Employer Onboarding Support
Check your establishment coverage before applying for PF registration. TaxQue helps organise business details, employee records and authorised signatory information for EPFO employer onboarding. Employee membership history and the rules applicable on the joining date matter alongside wage details.
Share your establishment activity, workforce details, existing registrations and any earlier PF coverage. We confirm the registration work and explain the next compliance steps before preparation. Code allotment, portal checks and authority queries can affect timing; monthly ECR work is separate unless included in your plan.
What is PF Registration?
Establishment coverage comes first: Review the business, workforce and existing coverage rather than relying on one employee-count statement.
Check employee membership history: Prior PF membership and current applicable wage rules can affect how an employee is enrolled and contributions are handled.
Plan for ongoing employer compliance: Registration is followed by employee records, contribution calculations and ECR obligations; agree whether recurring support is included.
Use the rules applicable to the relevant date
Wage ceilings and coverage instructions can change. Confirm the current EPFO requirements and employee history before excluding workers or setting payroll contributions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about PF Registration
Under the Code on Social Security, 2020 (in force from 21 November 2025, replacing the EPF Act, 1952), EPF applies to every establishment employing 20 or more employees; smaller establishments can join voluntarily if the employer and a majority of employees agree. EPF registration is legally mandatory for any commercial establishment, factory, company, or business that employs 20 or more employees (including contract and permanent staff). Establishments with fewer than 20 employees can also obtain voluntary EPF registration under Section 1(4).
The standard EPF contribution is 12% of the employee's basic wages plus dearness allowance (DA). The employee contributes 12% directly to their EPF account. The employer's matching 12% contribution is split into: 8.33% to the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS capped at ₹1,250/month) and 3.67% to the EPF account, plus 0.5% for EDLI (life insurance) and 0.5% administrative charges.
We complete employer KYC and the digital declarations and file your EPFO registration within 24 to 48 hours of receiving complete documents; the establishment code is issued by EPFO, and its processing time can vary.
Your registration is handled by our Labor Law and Payroll Compliance Team. We configure your establishment profile on the unified EPFO employer portal, register your authorized digital signature (DSC), and set up monthly ECR billing.
You need: (1) PAN Card and Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed / GST Certificate, (2) Premises Address Proof (Electricity bill / Rent agreement with Landlord NOC), (3) Cancelled Cheque of business bank account, (4) PAN and Aadhaar of Directors/Partners, (5) Class 3 DSC of Authorized Signatory, and (6) Employee list with date of joining and salary structure.
