The EPF Scheme, established by the government, is a social security initiative to promote savings among employees and ensure post-retirement benefits such as pensions. Through regular contributions deducted from their salaries, employees accumulate savings over time. Upon retirement or leaving their jobs, these savings can be accessed as a lump sum payment.
Under the EPF scheme, employers and employees contribute 12% of basic pay. While 3.67% of the employer’s contribution is directed to the employee’s EPF account, the remaining 8.33% is allocated to the Employees Pension Fund (EPF).
Employees can withdraw EPF amounts upon retirement (at or after 58 years of age), unemployment for two months, or in the event of death before the specified retirement age.
Entities falling under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, must file PF returns. This encompasses establishments with 20 or more employees and fewer than 20 employees voluntarily registered under the Act.
This is a monthly return that must be submitted by the employer through the Employer e-seva portal. The return will include basic information for both new and departing members as well as member-specific information about pay and contributions.
The due date for remittance of monthly challan to the bank for PF is 15th of every month
The due date for annual returns is 30th April every year.
Regularly filing returns offers numerous benefits for both employers and employees, which include:
- Compliance with Legal Requirements:Filing Returns is a legal obligation, and adherence ensures avoidance of penalties and fines for non-compliance.
- Employee Security:PF contributions form a crucial component of an employee’s social security. Consistent return filing guarantees that these contributions are accurately recorded, safeguarding employee financial security.
- Tax Advantages:PF contributions are eligible for tax deductions. Consistent PF filing facilitates employers in claiming these tax benefits, contributing to overall financial efficiency.
- Organized Record-Keeping:Regular filing of returns enables employers to maintain systematic records of employee PF contributions. This organized approach simplifies the tracking and managing of employee benefits, fostering efficient administration.
