3. Statutory Anchor: EPF compliance is governed by the EMPLOYEES' PROVIDENT FUNDS AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS ACT, 1952 + EMPLOYEES' PROVIDENT FUND SCHEME, 1952 + EPS 1995 + EDLI 1976. The CODE ON SOCIAL SECURITY, 2020 (notified into force 21 November 2025) consolidates these legislations; EPF sub-Rules under the Code are being phased in State-by-State. The existing EPF & MP Act 1952 framework + Unified Portal CONTINUES during the transition.
4. Statutory EPF Contribution Structure: EMPLOYEE 12% of Basic + DA. EMPLOYER 12% of Basic + DA split as EPS 8.33% (capped at wages ₹15,000 = ₹1,250 / month) + EPF 3.67% (balance). EDLI 0.5% of wages (capped at ₹15,000 wage = ₹75 / month / employee). Admin Charges 0.5% (min ₹500 / month / establishment). All contributions are payable to EPFO by the 15th of next month. Wage ceiling ₹15,000 (proposed revision to ₹21,000 pending Government notification).
5. Late-Fee Zero Promise (Conditional): We file ECR by the 15th of next month provided the client provides the monthly wage register + new-joinee / KYC data by DAY 7 of the next month. If the client provides data late, ECR may be filed late + Section 7Q interest (12% p.a.) + Section 14B damages (5%–25% p.a. per delay band) become the client's liability.
6. GST on Our Fee: All quoted prices are exclusive of GST @ 18%, charged at checkout.
