EPF & EPS rules under new wage ceiling: Earning Rs 20,000 and not EPS member? Know how your employer’s PF contribution will change from October 2026
Employees earning up to ₹25,000 will see changes in their Employers' Provident Fund (EPF) contributions starting October 2026, as they will now be required to join the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS). For a salary of ₹20,000, the total contribution will remain ₹4,800, but the employer's share will be split between EPF and EPS. This shift mandates EPS membership for previously excluded employees.
