PF Registration Process

What Is PF Registration & Why It Matters

Provident Fund (PF) Registration is the process of enrolling an establishment with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to provide retirement savings, pension, and insurance benefits to its employees, as required under the EPF & MP Act, 1952.

Any establishment employing 20 or more people must register for PF, and every registered employer contributes alongside employees each month toward long-term savings, pension, and life cover — a compliance requirement that also builds employee trust and retention.

TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete process — EPFO application filing, document verification, digital signature submission, and PF Code allotment — so your establishment is compliant from day one.
