Earlier this week, EPFO introduced the Amnesty Scheme, 2026, providing a one-time opportunity for establishments operating exempted Provident Fund (PF) Trusts to regularise their status. The Labour and Employment Ministry said that the Scheme will remain open for a period of six months.
What is EPFO Amnesty Scheme 2026?
The EPFO’s Amnesty Scheme 2026 applies to establishments that have been operating a Provident Fund Trust recognised under the Income Tax Act, 1961 but do not possess a formal exemption notification from the appropriate central or state government. The EPFO has introduced the Scheme as a one-time opportunity for these eligible establishments to regularise their status retrospectively. The Scheme aims to bring such trusts within a uniform statutory framework while ensuring compliance with the applicable legal provisions.
