EPFO Wage Ceiling Revised.
Is Your Payroll Ready?

From ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 per month

Understand the Change. Calculate the Impact.

The revised wage ceiling may affect statutory coverage, employer contributions, payroll configurations, and employee communication. The actual impact depends on employee wages, existing contribution practices, and applicable EPF/EPS membership rules.

Earlier Ceiling
₹15,000/month
In force since 1 September 2014
Revised Ceiling
₹25,000/month
Effective 17 September 2026

Calculate contribution differences
Organise implementation activities

The revision took effect mid wage-month, so September 2026 payroll straddles both ceilings — one of the points the manual addresses.
