The EPFO has launched an amnesty scheme to allow Provident Fund Trusts to regularize their status under new financial and social security laws. The six-month window provides a one-time opportunity for establishments to obtain formal exemption status.

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has invited applications from exempted Provident Fund Trusts to regularise their status as per the provisions of the Finance Act, 2026, the Income Tax Act, 2025, and the Code on Social Security. The Amnesty Scheme, 2026 provides a one-time opportunity for the Trusts recognised under the Income Tax Act, 1961 to regularise their status.
