How employees contributing to EPF on actual wage basis can be impacted due to hike in EPF wage ceiling limit

The higher wage ceiling limit for EPF is effective from September 17, 2026. This means that from this date, the wage ceiling for mandatory EPFO coverage will increase from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 per month.

This news is likely to have maximum impact on those employees who contributed to EPF on Rs 15,000 wage ceiling limit or did not contribute to EPF since their wage was higher than Rs 15,000.
