The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has called upon employers to utilize the Employees' Enrolment Campaign 2026 to bring employees who are not currently covered under social security benefits into the EPF system. The campaign, which began on June 29, 2026, and runs until October 31, aims to give eligible workers the opportunity to enroll in the provident fund, pension, and insurance schemes for the first time.
Approximately 70% of new EPFO subscribers are in the 18-25 age group, according to a recent report. Employers can declare employees who were previously outside the EPF coverage during the period between April 1, 2009, and March 31, 2026, and are still employed by the establishment on the declaration date. The Labour Ministry has noted that the campaign offers special concessions, including waivers for employees whose contributions were not deducted earlier, provided they meet certain conditions.
Employers are required to complete the enrolment and remittance process via the online platform, generate a one-time UAN through Face Authentication on the UMANG App, and remit contributions using the Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) system. The campaign is designed to benefit both employers and employees by providing a structured approach to ensure compliance with statutory social security requirements.
