Acts, schemes and circulars
The three statutes and schemes EPFO administers. This prototype does not carry a live circulars feed — for current circulars and notifications, use the official EPFO site.
Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952
The parent act. It establishes the provident fund scheme and covers factories and establishments employing 20 or more people.
Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995
Introduced under the 1952 Act, this replaced the earlier Family Pension Scheme and governs monthly pension entitlements.
Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976
The insurance scheme linked to the provident fund account, paying a benefit to the nominee on death in service.
This page lists the schemes by name only — it is not a substitute for reading the acts themselves.
