The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced Amnesty Scheme, 2026, to give certain employers a one-time opportunity to regularise their provident fund trusts.
The six-month scheme is aimed at establishments that have been running private PF trusts recognised under the Income Tax Act but do not have the required formal exemption from the government. Depending on their eligibility, such establishments can either shift to the EPFO framework or continue operating as exempted PF trusts after meeting the prescribed conditions.
