EPF is a social security fund; it is enforced by the Government of India. As per the scheme employee and employer has to contribute some amount every month in the scheme for employee benefits. An employee can withdraw this EPF amount after retirement.

When the organization is having more than 20 employees and the employee’s salary is less than 15,000 Rs. then the employer has to consider EPF. To enroll in EPF and withdraw, you need to consider many government forms. Form 11 is one of the important forms used in EPF.
