From 20 to 10

EPFO coverage threshold limit has been reduced from 20 employees to 10 employees effective 1st january, 2020. This would imply that it is mandatory for organizations / establishments / factories  with 10 or more employees to be registered under the Employees provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions of Act. With this,  the EPFO threshold coverage of 10 employees matches with that of the threshold coverage for ESIC.
