Dear sir,
I am working in a company in the HR department. Our company operates under the contract labor law. Recently, some new workers have joined our company. This is their first time joining. The new worker does not want to have the PF contribution (12%) deducted from their basic salary. Currently, their basic salary is above 6500 Rs.
Please advise me on this matter.

As per the PF Act, a person who has never been a member of PF and is drawing wages/salary of more than ₹6,500 per month can be excluded from making contributions towards PF. In such cases, Form No. 11 under the PF Act should be obtained from such an employee.

Hi Ravindra, as mentioned by Mr Rajendra, there’s some flexibility for the workers who are not willing to contribute for PF and you can also opt for the same.

Pl. obtain Form No. 11 with his declaration for opting out of PF and maintain the same with you only. It should be produced on demand to pf authorities.

One silly question : If an employee, who is excluded from PF contribution, expects company’s contribution to PF, to be added to his Salary, (since this is a saving for the company), is it justified ? He knows that he can not claim it lawfully, but if he wants to argue…

Firstly, Form 11 has been abolished by the PF authority. Secondly, if their basic salary is more than 6.5k, then you do not need to deduct their PF. This change will not only fulfill their wish but also allow the company to save 13.61% from their contribution.
