EPFO New Scheme 2025: The central government has launched the Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025. This scheme aims to provide EPF coverage to employees who were left out for some reason. Employers are being given the opportunity to enroll their employees who were left out.
EPFO New Scheme 2025: Almost all employees working in India have a PF (Provident Fund) account. PF accounts in India are operated by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The Ministry of Labour and Employment has launched the Employees’ Enrolment Scheme (Employees’ Enrolment Scheme) 2025. This scheme aims to provide social security coverage to as many employees as possible under the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The scheme aims to provide EPF coverage to employees who were left out for some reason. Employers are being given the opportunity to enroll their left-out employees.
This scheme will cover all employees who joined the organization between July 1, 2017, and October 31, 2025, and who are still working with that company. The Ministry of Labor and Employment launched this scheme on November 1st, the EPFO’s 73rd Foundation Day. Union Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya also launched the EPFO’s new website, www.epfo.gov.in. It now features a simpler interface, improved navigation, and simplified access to all services.
What is the Employees’ Enrollment Scheme 2025?
This scheme will run for six months from November 1, 2025, until April 30, 2026. Its purpose is to encourage employers to bring under the ambit of the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) those employees who, for whatever reason, have not been able to enroll themselves. The official circular dated October 10, 2025, giving information about this, refers to it as the Employees’ Provident Funds (Amendment) Scheme, 2025.
Who can apply?
Under this scheme (EPFO Scheme 2025), any company or establishment can participate in the enrollment drive, whether it is already covered under EPF or not. Under this drive, employers can register employees who started working for them between July 1, 2017, and October 31, 2025 (July 1, 2017 – October 31, 2025) and who are alive and employed as of the date of declaration.
Compliance for these employees will be considered to begin from the month in which the employer submits their declaration of joining. The government is also giving such institutions an opportunity to regularize their old compliance under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
What will be the benefit of enrollment?
The biggest benefit of enrollment under this campaign is that if an employee’s EPF contribution has not been deducted before, their Employee Share will be waived. The employer will only have to pay the Employer’s Share, interest calculated under Section 7Q, and administrative charges. Additionally, a one-time payment of a penalty of ₹100 in all these cases will be considered compliance under all three schemes—EPF Scheme 1952, EDLI Scheme 1976 (Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976), and EPS Scheme 1995. After this, the full benefits of all three schemes will be available.
Contributions will be deposited through electronic challan.
The mandatory condition of this scheme is that employers must generate a face authentication-based UAN for each employee through the UMANG app and deposit the contribution through electronic challan (ECR).
EPFO’s new homepage also launched
In addition, the Labor Minister also launched the EPFO’s new homepage, www.epfo.gov.in, which is a more user-friendly domain name. It will provide an improved interface, easier navigation, and easier access to key services and information for stakeholders.
