The Employees’ Provident Funds Scheme, 1952 is the core PF scheme under the EPF & MP Act, 1952: both employer and employee contribute a statutory percentage of basic wages plus dearness allowance each month, with part of the employer’s share diverted to the EPS-1995 pension fund. The Scheme governs contribution accounting, nomination, inter-establishment transfer on change of employment, and the conditions under which a member may withdraw the accumulated balance (full or partial, including on retirement, prolonged unemployment or specified needs).
