Labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya, on Saturday, rolled out the Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025<\/a>, aimed at encouraging employers to voluntarily declare and enrol eligible employees under the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund Organisation<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Operational from November 1, 2025, the scheme provides that employers will not be required to remit the employee\u2019s share of contribution if not deducted earlier, and only nominal penal damages of Rs 100 will apply. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme seeks to enhance workforce formalisation and promote ease of doing business,\u201d the ministry of labour and employment said in a statement issued on the 73rd Foundation Day of EPFO<\/a>.
\u201cEPFO is not merely a fund. It represents the trust of India\u2019s workforce in social security<\/a>,\u201d Mandaviya said, emphasizing that efficiency, transparency, and empathy must remain the driving forces of EPFO\u2019s transformation. <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery reform must reach workers in clear and simple terms so that the impact of change is felt directly in their lives,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
