Provident fund is the mandatory savings in which every person need to follow as per the government. There is no application procedure exists for the Provident Fund Registration Process. It is rather a mandate for the non-exempted organizations to open a Provident Fund account for all the employees of the organization.
At the time of hiring the Provident Fund Registration Process form that the employer would ask the employee to fill up in triplicate. This would contain all the details of the employee and the same is send forward to the Provident Fund office. The Provident Fund office would open an account in the name of the employee under the umbrella of the concerned organization along with the other existing employees of the same organization. After posting the procedure the Provident Fund office would issue a Provident Fund account number which is passed down to the individual employee through the organization. All future reference and correspondences with the Provident Fund office related to the Provident Fund account of the employee would have to mention the Provident Fund account number while the Provident Fund Registration Process.
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the subscriptions from the employees salary, along with an equal subscription goes to the Provident Fund account of the employee every month. The Provident Fund office issues a statement of account every year for all the account holders to get an updated status of the funds. The Provident Fund account is distributed through the employer again to the account holders in the Provident Fund Registration Process.
