📜 What is Employees’ Provident Fund?

Chapter III consolidates the law relating to Employees’ Provident Fund. It covers framing of provident fund schemes, contributions by employers and employees (including in respect of contractors’ employees), management of the fund, transfers of accounts, priority of PF dues over other debts and exemptions for specified establishments, together forming the core EPF framework under the Code.
अध्याय III कर्मचारी भविष्य निधि से संबंधित प्रावधानों को एकीकृत करता है। इसमें भविष्य निधि योजनाएँ बनाने, नियोक्ता और कर्मचारी (ठेकेदारों के कर्मचारियों सहित) द्वारा योगदान, निधि का प्रबंधन, खातों का स्थानांतरण, अन्य देयों पर PF देयों की वरीयता तथा कुछ प्रतिष्ठानों को दी जाने वाली छूट से संबंधित व्यवस्थाएँ शामिल हैं, जो संहिता के अंतर्गत EPF व्यवस्था का आधार बनाती हैं।
