The Union Cabinet has approved raising the wage ceiling for mandatory EPFO coverage from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 per month — the first revision since September 2014. The government expects more than 51 lakh additional employees to come under mandatory EPFO coverage. But what exactly is this ₹25,000 ceiling? Does it mean everyone earning up to ₹25,000 will see higher PF deductions? What happens to employees earning more than ₹25,000? And how does the change affect EPF, EPS and EDLI benefits? In this explainer, we decode the new EPFO wage ceiling, who comes under mandatory coverage, the potential impact on employees and employers, and why the government says the move will strengthen retirement and social-security coverage. #EPFO #ProvidentFund #EPF #PF #EPSON #EPFORules #PersonalFinance #Retirement #SocialSecurity #NDTVProfit For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more news: https://www.ndtvprofit.com/ Don't enter the stoc
