EPFO Amnesty Scheme 2026: PF Trusts Can Regularise Exemption Status Until December 28
Ministry of Labor and Employment: The Ministry of Labor and Employment has introduced amnesty provisions for provident fund trusts under the EPF Scheme 2026. This will provide a one-time opportunity to trusts that do not have a formal exemption order. The EPFO is running an awareness campaign.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment has come up with a major amnesty scheme for the provident fund trusts. This amnesty scheme has been brought in force under the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme 2026. This is meant to offer a one time chance to those trusts which do not possess any formal exemption order.
These provisions came into effect on June 29, 2026. It is an implementation of these provisions through the transitional period. These provisions will be helpful for those provident fund trusts recognized under the Income Tax Act, 1961. But the trusts do not have a formal exemption order under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and similarly under the Social Security Code, 2020.
This initiative has been taken by the EPFO to ensure maximum awareness regarding the matter. The organization has conducted extensive multi-channel campaigns across the country.
