AITUC: ₹25,000 EPFO cap arrives late and falls short
Union Cabinet approved raising EPFO monthly wage ceiling from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 on 16 Sept 2026; AITUC says it is too little, too late and demands ₹30,000.
Why it matters 51 lakh+ additional employees come under mandatory EPFO coverage; employee PF contribution rises ₹1,200/month; government outgo up ₹1,089 crore/year.
