Applicablility of PF Act

PF Act is applicable on establishments employing 20 or more persons.

Mr. Vishwajeet

If the employer is willing provide the EPF facility to their employees they may apply under the volunteer EPF coverage scheme.  You may contact the nearest regional office to avail the above.

Since you have only 14 number of employees there is no requirement to cover under the EPF act.

Mr Vishwajeet,

As per Section 16 of EPF Act,  PF Act is applicable on establishments employing 20 or more persons. Since you have only 14 employees there is no requirement to cover under the same.

Dear Mr. Vishwajeet,

Mr. Sandeep Sharma has rightly stated that the PF Act is applicable as per the details in Section 16 of the EPF & MP Act, 1952.

But recently the amendment has been made and instead of 20 now the coverage is applicable to all those establishment who are employing 10 and more, so since your strength is 14 it's mandatory for your company to get it  registered under the PF Act.
