On the occasion of the 73rd Foundation Day of the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), the central government launched the Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025. Union Minister for Labor and Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, announced this on Saturday. The scheme aims to include employees who have previously been excluded from the PF system for various reasons, and to encourage companies and other employers to voluntarily declare and enroll eligible employees.

Launching the scheme, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that the EPFO ​​has made a significant contribution to expanding the scope of social security in the country. It is not just a fund, but a symbol of the trust of Indian workers and laborers in social security.

When will the scheme begin, and who will benefit?

The scheme was announced last month and has been implemented since November 1, 2025. The central government states that the scheme is completely voluntary, and companies will have to enroll their employees on their own.

This scheme will benefit employees who joined a company between July 1, 2017, and October 31, 2025, but have not been enrolled in the PF scheme. This scheme will also apply to companies or institutions that are under investigation under Section 7A of the EPF Act, Section 26B of the Scheme, or Section 8 of the Pension Scheme. The EPFO ​​has already clarified that no suo motu action will be taken against employees who have already left the company.
