Provident fund registration offers several benefits for both employers and employees

• Retirement Security : It ensures that employees have a financial cushion after retirement, providing them with a lump sum amount or a pension, depending on the scheme.
• Tax Benefits : Both employers and employees can enjoy tax exemptions on their contributions to the provident fund, making it a tax-efficient savings option.
• Employee Welfare : Provident fund registration fosters a sense of security among employees, enhancing job satisfaction and loyalty.
• Legal Compliance : For employers, registering for provident funds ensures compliance with statutory obligations under the EPF Act, avoiding penalties and legal issues.
• Insurance Cover : In addition to retirement benefits, PF registration also includes insurance coverage under the Employee Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme, providing financial support to the employee's family in case of untimely death.
