EPF Registration

EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) Registration

EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) Registration is a mandatory social security compliance for businesses with 20 or more employees. Managed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), it ensures a stable retirement corpus and savings for salaried employees. Both employers and employees contribute 12% of the employee’s basic salary towards the EPF fund monthly.

At Laams Tax Consultancy, we provide end-to-end EPF registration services for businesses in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and across India. Whether you're a startup (Startup India Registration) or a growing enterprise, we make your EPF registration process quick, hassle-free, and fully compliant with all government norms.
