.Abstract
The integration of international workers into India's Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 (EPF
Scheme), and the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, as mandated by the Employee Provident Fund and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (EPF Act), following the 2008 amendments, presented significant legal
and policy challenges. These regulations required international workers to contribute to these schemes based
on their full salaries, unlike domestic workers, whose contributions were capped. This disparity raised
concerns regarding fairness, constitutional compliance, and broader implications for social security.
