The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched the Employees' Enrolment Campaign (EEC) 2026, a one-time initiative open until October 31 to enroll eligible salaried employees previously excluded from the EPF scheme. Employers must cover the employer's contribution plus interest, while employee contributions for missed periods are waived. The campaign targets workers eligible under the EPF Act from April 2009 to March 2026, encouraging employers to audit records and enroll uncovered employees through a fully digital process.
