Hi, please solve the following problems:
Employee Salary and Provident Fund Membership
What if an employee, while joining an establishment, has a basic salary of Rs 4200, and after some period of time, his basic salary increases above Rs 6501/-? Does he have the option to terminate his membership from the Provident Fund Act?
Applicability of the Act Based on Employee Count
In case, after registering the establishment, at any point in time, the number of employees working in it becomes less than 20, will the Act still apply?
Contractor Employees and Scheme Coverage
Are the persons employed by or through a contractor covered under the Scheme?
Thank you.

Those employees registered with EPF have to continue in PF even if their salary exceeds the ceiling limit, or the number of employees falls below 20, etc. If the principal employer is registered with PF, employees under contract also have to be registered.
