Employees' Provident Fund Organisation

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India. It is responsible for administering and managing the provident fund scheme for employees in India. This scheme provides social security to employees by offering a retirement savings plan where both the employer and the employee contribute a certain percentage of the employee's salary to a provident fund account. The EPFO manages the funds collected, ensures their safekeeping, and provides benefits to eligible members upon retirement, death, or other specified circumstances. The organization's activities encompass membership registration, contribution collection, account maintenance, disbursement of benefits, and overall management of the vast provident fund system. It employs a large workforce to carry out these functions across numerous regional offices throughout the country, ensuring efficient and timely service to millions of employees and employers.
