EPFO opens 6-month amnesty window to regularise exempted PF trusts

EPFO has launched the Amnesty Scheme 2026, offering employers running exempted provident fund (PF) trusts a one-time opportunity to regularise their status without penal action. The scheme covers trusts recognised under the IT Act, 1961 but lacking exemption under Section 17 of the EPF & MP Act, 1952. The scheme is open for six months from June 29, 2026.
