Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a government-backed savings scheme that provides retirement benefits to salaried employees in India. Employers with a workforce of 20 or more are mandatorily required to register under the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Navigating the legal framework and filing procedures can be time-consuming and complex—but with Caankur’s professional EPF Registration Services, your business can achieve full compliance without stress.

Whether you're an HR professional, business owner, or payroll head, understanding the steps involved in EPF registration is crucial. Here's a detailed guide to simplify the process and help you register your company with the EPFO smoothly and efficiently.

Why EPF Registration Is Important

Before we walk you through the steps, it’s essential to understand why EPF registration matters:

• Legal Compliance: Mandatory for businesses with 20+ employees.
   

• Employee Welfare: Helps in employee retention and financial security.
   

• Employer Benefits: Builds credibility, employee trust, and corporate image.
   

• Tax Exemptions: Contributions to EPF are tax-deductible under Section 80C.
   

Step-by-Step Process for EPF Registration Services

At Caankur, we simplify and streamline the entire EPF registration process for you. Below are the major steps involved in our EPF Registration Services:

Step 1: Document Collection and Verification

We begin by gathering all necessary documents, including:

• PAN of the establishment
   

• Proof of address (electricity bill, lease deed, etc.)
   

• Incorporation Certificate (for companies)
   

• Partnership deed (if applicable)
   

• GST registration certificate
   

• Cancelled cheque of company bank account
   

• Specimen signature of the employer
   

• ID and address proof of partners/directors (Aadhar, PAN, Passport)
   

• Details of all employees including their salaries and designations
   

Our experts verify and cross-check the documents to ensure a smooth application process.

Step 2: Establishment Registration on EPFO Portal

Once all documents are verified, we register the establishment on the EPFO’s Unified Portal. This involves:

• Creating a Login ID for the employer on the EPFO portal
   

• Filling out the Employer’s Registration Form
   

• Attaching relevant documents in scanned format
   

• Submitting contact and communication details
   

We ensure that the information entered is accurate and compliant with EPFO guidelines.

Step 3: Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) Verification

The employer’s application needs to be signed digitally. Our team facilitates:

• Obtaining the Digital Signature Certificate (if not already available)
   

• Registering the DSC on the EPFO portal
   

• Linking the DSC with the employer login for authentication
   

This step is critical for completing online submissions and returns in the future.

Step 4: Final Submission and PF Code Generation

Once all details are submitted and verified, the EPFO issues a unique PF Establishment Code Number. This code is used for all future PF-related transactions and compliance filings.

We also help set up your Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) system so that monthly contributions and returns can be submitted easily.

Step 5: Post-Registration Support

Our job doesn’t end with registration. We offer complete post-registration services, including:

• Monthly ECR filing
   

• KYC updates for employees
   

• UAN (Universal Account Number) generation and linking
   

• Assistance in handling PF queries and inspections
   

• Filing annual returns and compliance reports
