What is EPF & ESI?

The Employees’ Provident Fund is a retirement benefit scheme managed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). It aims to provide financial security to employees after their retirement. Under this scheme, both the employer and the employee contribute a certain percentage of the employee’s salary to the EPF account.
