The Constitution of India under "Directive Principles of State Policy" provides that the 
State shall within the limits of its economic capacity make effective provision for securing 
the right to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old-age, 
sickness & disablement and undeserved want.

The EPF & MP Act, 1952 was enacted by Parliament and came into force with effect from 14th 
March,1952. A series of legislative interventions were made in this direction, including the 
Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.  Presently, the following 
three schemes are in operation under the Act:

1. Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, 1952
2. Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976
3. Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 (replacing the Employees' Family Pension Scheme, 1971)

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation, India, is one of the largest provident fund institutions in the world in terms of
members and volume of financial transactions that it has been carrying on.
