Hiring employees comes with its own set of costs — and the employer’s contribution towards EPF is one that most manufacturing businesses simply absorb without question.
What many do not realise is that under Gujarat’s Aatmanirbhar Scheme, this contribution is partially reimbursable for a defined period. It is designed to encourage formal employment generation — and it often goes unclaimed simply because businesses do not know it applies to them.
Under the Aatmanirbhar Gujarat Scheme for MSMEs, the government reimburses the employer’s EPF contribution made for new employees in eligible manufacturing units.
Most companies are already paying EPF regularly — but they never check whether reimbursement applies to their unit, or they assume the process is too complex to manage. In many cases it is simply not tracked consistently, and the benefit lapses quarter by quarter without anyone noticing.
We assess whether your unit qualifies, set up the tracking process, and handle the filings so nothing slips through.
This includes:
For a manufacturing unit with 50 new employees, the reimbursement can amount to several lakhs annually — recurring for up to 10 years. It is not a one-time benefit. It is a steady reduction in your cost of employment, available every quarter as long as your unit remains eligible and the claims are filed correctly.
If you are hiring and growing, this is a benefit worth tracking properly.
