Short answerPF (EPF) registration is mandatory once you employ 20 or more people; below that you can register voluntarily. Once covered, employees up to the wage ceiling must be enrolled, and both employer and employee contribute 12% of basic wages.

20-employee trigger

Mandatory at 20 employees; voluntary registration is possible earlier. Confirm coverage for your case.

Contributions

12% from each side on basic + DA, with a ₹15,000 statutory wage ceiling.
