EPFO Urges Establishments To Utilise Employees’ Enrolment Campaign To Extend Social Security Benefits

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has urged establishments to utilise the Employees’ Enrolment Campaign, 2026 (EEC 2026) to ensure social security for employees outside EPF coverage. The campaign is aimed at facilitating voluntary compliance by employers and extending the benefits of provident fund, pension and insurance to eligible workers. The Ministry of Labour and Employment said that EEC 2026 will remain open until 31st October this year.

Under the campaign, 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 Ministry said that employers are required to complete the enrolment and remittance process through the prescribed online mechanism.

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