In March, the number of new monthly subscribers under the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) sequentially declined by nearly 4 per cent to 747,000 from 777,700 in February, according to the latest monthly payroll data released by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on Monday.
However, the labour ministry didn't release revised monthly data for previous months of FY24 by the time of going to the press.
In May 2021, fewer fresh formal employees than in March (649,618 subscribers) had joined the EPF. The EPFO data is considered crucial as only the formal workforce enjoys social security benefits and is protected by labour laws.
