The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a social security scheme provided by the Government of India to support the financial security of employees in the organized sector. Charitable trust hospitals that have 20 or more employees are required to register with the EPF and provide their employees with EPF benefits, including doctors working under them. This requirement has been in effect since 1952 under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act.
Charitable trust hospitals in India come under the purview of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. However, some charitable trust hospitals may also come under the jurisdiction of state governments, depending on their location and other factors.
Charitable trust hospitals that receive government funding or are registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, are generally considered public authorities and are subject to the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which allows citizens to seek information from public authorities. However, whether a particular charitable trust hospital is covered under the RTI Act will depend on its specific circumstances and the laws of the state in which it is located.
