EPFO urges establishments to utilize the Employees’ Enrolment Campaign, 2026 to ensure social security for employees outside EPF coverage

The Campaign will remain open up to 31 October 2026 and is aimed at facilitating voluntary compliance by employers and extending the benefits of provident fund, pension and insurance to eligible workers.

Under EEC 2026, eligible employers can declare and enrol employees who were left out of EPF coverage during the prescribed period and are alive and continuing in employment with the establishment on the date of declaration.

The Campaign provides specified relaxations to facilitate regularisation of past compliance, including waiver of the employee’s share where it was not deducted earlier, subject to the conditions of the Campaign.

The Campaign is intended to benefit establishments and workers by providing a structured mechanism for bringing eligible employees within the statutory social security framework.

EPFO is also undertaking extensive awareness and outreach activities to disseminate the salient features of EEC 2026 among employers, employees, establishments, contractors and other stakeholders.

Pair one-liners with mock tests so mistakes become the next revision list.

Note which exams each story matters for, and revise it again in the week before that exam.
