EPF Registration Service
EPF Registration (Employees’ Provident Fund Registration) is a mandatory compliance requirement for businesses in India employing 20 or more employees. Governed by the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, it ensures financial security and retirement benefits for employees while promoting long-term savings. For employers, timely EPF registration builds legal compliance, improves employee trust, and helps in attracting and retaining talent. At License Mantra, we help businesses register under EPFO seamlessly through a 100% online, expert-driven process—so you stay compliant without the paperwork hassle.
