This move aims to fast-track claim settlements and reduce complaints about denied claims.
✅ Minimum Age: There is no specific lower age limit for EPF registration, but employees typically become eligible once they start working, which is usually 18 years and above.
✅ Maximum Age: Employees can contribute to the EPF scheme until 60 years of age. However, contributions to the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) stop at 58 years, after which the employer's share is fully directed to the EPFO.
✅ Application Form: A completed and signed PPF account opening form.
✅ Identity Proof: PAN card, Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License.
✅ Address Proof: Aadhaar card, Passport, Driving License, Voter ID, or utility bills.

✅ Retirement Savings – EPFO helps employees build a retirement corpus through regular contributions from both employer and employee.
✅ Tax Benefits – Contributions to EPF are eligible for tax exemptions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
✅ Pension Scheme – EPFO also includes the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS), ensuring monthly pension payouts after retirement.
✅ Insurance Coverage (EDLI) – Employees get life insurance coverage under the Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme, benefiting their nominees in case of unfortunate events.
✅ Loan & Partial Withdrawals – EPFO allows withdrawals for emergencies like medical needs, home purchase, or education expenses.
✅ Secure & Managed by Government – The EPF scheme is managed by the government, ensuring safe and guaranteed returns.
