The EPFO has decided to provide social security to an additional 50 lakh workers other than the already existing 5 crore members. This came in accordance with the EPF new rules which state that the threshold for any firm to be subscribed under the EPF act is to have 20 employees.
According to the EPF new rules, this limit is now going to be halved. This means that any Firm which has a minimum of 10 employees has to be registered with the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act.
Currently, the firms that come under the Act are those which has 20 or more employees.
This proposal to reduce the coverage threshold was approved by the central board of trustees at the 183rd CBT meeting, which was held in July of 2008. But so far it has not been implemented. The labour ministry is now looking into the approval of this proposal.
Explaining further, an official has stated that the labour ministry has decided to go for it since the amendment of labour laws do not need approval from the Parliament. This amendment could be brought into effect from April or May.
Since the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is already applicable to establishments which have 10 or more employees, the EPF new rules will help in unifying the social security efforts by the Government.

1) Right
2) Right
3) Partially Right, As, Threshold limit for ESIC has been increased to Rs.21,000 from 01.01.2017.
This is incorrect info. ESI is not applicable on all types of companies. It only applies to specific establishments.

Good information
Dear Sir, We have company with a staff of 12 members under the company pay roll and another 15 members are outsourced and the staffing agent is providing PF for his 15 members, Now my question is are we need to register for PF or not? can you please share me the relevant provisions please
Dear Sir,
As the staff agent is already providing PF for outsourced staff, your coverage shall be only for the employees coming under your payroll i.e. 12 members. As there is possibility of your employees being increased, you can opt for voluntary PF registration. PF registration is mandatory once the members in payroll cross 20 Nos.
