Respected Sir/Madam,
Hi, if upon joining the salary of any employee is Rs 6501.00 (Gross), will it be considered as a membership? Please clarify the related Act and its practice. Also, is there a maximum limit of Rs 10000.00 for membership in PF?
Thank you,

Actually, the thing goes like this.
EPF is calculated on the basis of Basic + DA. However, gross may consist of Basic + DA + HRA and other allowances. So, if the basic + DA is less than 6501, he is a member of EPF. But the thing is, you can give the whole amount as consolidated pay and then exempt him.
No, there is no maximum limit for EPF; the maximum limit for ESI is Rs. 15,000.00.

Hi,
The eligibility for PF is (Basic + DA) up to Rs 6500/-; it is compulsory for employers to deduct PF provided there are at least 20 employees. For employees earning above Rs 6500/-, it is at the discretion of the company to deduct PF.
There are two possibilities in this case. For example, suppose an employee gets a basic+ DA of Rs 15000. The employer can deduct 12% (8.33% + 3.67%) on Rs 15000, or the employer can limit the deduction to Rs 6500/-.
I have attached a file that provides various scenarios.
