Best when
Headcount and wage records are reconciled
Is this establishment
covered by EPF?
Headcount is the starting point—not the complete answer.
Threshold reached
Count direct, temporary and contract workers correctly.
Previously covered
Coverage can continue after headcount changes.
Contract workforce
Map contractor and principal-employer responsibility.
Voluntary route
Assess consent, cost and continuing obligations first.
EPF employer setup
Coverage. People. Payroll. ECR.
A registration number is not monthly compliance.
UAN data, contributions, ECR, exits and reconciliations continue after setup.
What you receive,
ready to use.
We test establishment coverage, count the real workforce, align identity and wage records, and prepare registration with the monthly ECR cycle visible from day one.

First ECR compliance handoff
What must be
in place.
The legal employer and establishment can be identified.
Employee and contractor headcount by joining date is available.
Wage, UAN and KYC records can be reconciled.
Authorised signatory, bank and establishment records are current.
Employee membership cannot be decided from current salary alone; joining history and prior coverage matter.
Start with coverage history
Current headcount alone can mislead.
| Decision | Mandatory coverage | Voluntary coverage | Already covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary test | Establishment and workforce | Consent and registration route | Prior coverage record |
| Key evidence | Headcount history | Employee and employer agreement | Code and filings |
| After setup | Monthly ECR | Monthly ECR | Continue compliance |
From headcount test to
first clean ECR.
A practical sequence with clear ownership at every stage. Registry review times can vary.
