On Saturdays, the PF office is not open. Every PF office will work only 5 days a week from Monday to Friday. Regular office hours for EPF offices are from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, with a lunch break from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
PF offices will be closed on public holidays, national holidays, and state-specific holidays.
If you have any EPF problems, it is better to visit the PF office at 9.30 AM, so that your problem can be resolved by afternoon. If there is any delay, it may be resolved by evening.
