Every employer registered under EPFO must file PF returns monthly, even if no salary is paid (nil return). This is mandatory under labour law for establishments with 20+ employees.

3 / What is the due date for PF return filing?

The due date is on or before the 15th of every month, for the preceding month’s salary cycle.

5 / What forms are used in PF compliance?

  • Form 5: New employee details

  • Manual declarations

  • EPFO grievance or inspection processes
