Dear friends,
ESI is not applicable in this case. Even though PF is also not statutory, it may be remitted with the consent of employee and employer on either ceiling salary or actual salary.

Dear Abbas,
Thanks for your response, but it will be helpful if you give clarification on the amount on which PF needs to be deducted. whether PF is to be deducted on all the components of salary .i.e UGC Pay + College Pay or only on college pay and if it is only college pay whether college DA and Special allowance needs to be included.

Dear BJ, I don’t know much about your pay structure. Generally Basic+DA will be taken into account for PF remittance. Abbas.P.S

Dear Arpan Doshi, Yes, you can withdraw PF; but not the pension contribution. Pension service can be added with future services. Abbas.P.S

Dear Arpan Doshi, Instead of withdrawing your PF amount, you may transfer your PF A/c into your new company’s PF A/c.
