Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025: A Step Towards Simplified Compliance
The Ministry said the Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025 allows employers to avoid remitting the employee’s share of contribution if it was not deducted earlier. Instead of facing large penalties, they will pay a nominal penal damage of ₹100, encouraging voluntary compliance and inclusion of more workers under EPFO’s social security umbrella.
The initiative, officials said, is expected to bring lakhs of informal workers into the formal employment network while supporting employers with a simplified, technology-driven compliance process. Mandaviya: “Reforms Must Reflect Empathy and Efficiency”

Launching the scheme, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya said the EPFO’s ongoing transformation must rest on three core principles — efficiency, transparency, and empathy.
“Every reform must reach workers in clear and simple terms so that the impact of change is felt directly in their lives,” the Minister emphasized.
He applauded EPFO’s contribution to India’s social security ecosystem and called for reforms that help the organisation set global standards as India moves toward the Viksit Bharat 2047 goal.
