Social Security in Mumbai
The social security system in India comprises two main organisations:
- Employee Provident Fund Organisations: According to the latest rules, employees are eligible for membership the day they join an establishment. The employee contributes 12% of his salary toward the EPF and employer contributes the same amount. The EPF scheme is designed to take care of the employee's retirement, medical care, housing, education and financing of insurance policies for him and his immediate family members. For more detailed information, click here.
- Employee State Insurance Corporation: This has been implemented in a number of states in the country. This is a scheme aimed at the lower ranks of employment and typically expects employees to contribute about 2% of their salary and approximately 4% of the salary as contribution from the employer.
