Explanation

The Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 is a central social security legislation. According to Section 1(3)(a) of the Act, its provisions apply to every establishment which is a factory engaged in any industry specified in Schedule I and in which 20 or more persons are employed.

Under Section 1(3)(b), the Act also applies to any other establishment employing 20 or more persons which the Central Government may specify by notification. While the Central Government has the authority to reduce this threshold for specific establishments via notification in the Official Gazette (after providing two months' notice), the standard statutory threshold for applicability remains 20 employees. Therefore, an establishment functioning as a factory in a scheduled industry is covered under the Act if it employs 20 or more persons.
