Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) applicability for businesses with fewer than 20 employees. Even if some staff earn below ₹15,000, EPF registration is not mandatory if the employee count remains under the threshold. However, voluntary registration is an option.

Since the threshold limit is not crossed w.r.t. no. of employees, it is not mandatory to register under PF act. Voluntary registration can be opted for.
