EPFO launches Employees’ Enrolment Campaign (EEC) 2026 a Special one-time opportunity for employers to enrol eligible employees left out of EPF coverage

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched the Employees’ Enrolment Campaign (EEC) 2026, a special one‑time window for employers to voluntarily enrol workers who were outside EPF coverage between 1 April 2009 and 31 March 2026. The campaign runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Under the scheme, the employee’s share of EPF contribution is waived if it was not deducted, while employers must pay their share along with interest, administrative charges and a lump‑sum damage of ₹100. Enrolment is done digitally via the EPFO Employer Portal using face‑authentication‑based UAN generation and ECR‑linked TRRN filing.
