Company not member of epfo

Hello Experts,

I joined a company that is operating since 7 years with over 200 employees. Compnay is not deducting any PF and not a member of EPFO organization. Now the company is purchased by new foriegn company and new company is trying to provide PF facility to all employees. Considering, Indian legal entity operating with 200 employees not a member of EPFO since 7 years what will be implications?

Any legal issues because company is not eligible for exemption considering salary and no of employees?

Please suggest.

Hi,

It is mandatory for an employer with an organization that employs 20 people or more to register under the EPF scheme. The PF will start from the date the accounts were created instead of since date joined.

There could be a proceeding against the employers.

I hope this answers your question.

Have a good day!
