The Employees Provident Fund Act, 1952 was brought on the statute
book for providing for the institution of provident fund for the
workmen in factories and other industrial establishments. The basic
purpose of the Act was to provide provident funds and to make
provision for future of the workmen after his retirement or his
dependents in case of his early death. In order to achieve this
ultimate object the Act is designed to cultivate among the workers a
spirit of saving something regularly and also to encourage
stabilization of a steady labour force in the industrial centres.
