If you have registered as 3 different legal entities then PF will not be applicable. If you are operating under one legal entity and done the split for your internal management then PF will be applicable.

My queries related to your post
Is there interconnection between these three units and there is common supervisory, financial or managerial control over the three firms??
If this matter gets agitated in a court of law,these kind of questions are likely to arise.

The problem with sole proprietor system is that there is no difference between the proprietor and the business. Therefore in the given circumstances, all the three businesses will be counted as the same. And you will be liable for PF along with penalty.
It would actually be a good idea then for you to convert each of these three into separate LLP or partnership or private limited companies. However, again you need to verify the cost benefit analysis of maintaining three separate organisations, they're all dates and compliances as against the savings on PFHowever, again you need to verify the cost benefit analysis of maintaining three separate organisations, they're all audit and compliances as against the savings on p.m.

* Business is being operated from same premises.
* Nature of business being conducted is same.
* Since all the 3 concerns are proprietorship concern the PAN involved in all the 3 cases are same.

In my opinion you will have to pay PF to your employees. Kindly take appropriate legal opinion on the subject at the earliest.

I have one question. One of the new organization that I am planning to go, they said that they do not pay anything as PF. Employee and employer’s contribution both is deducted from the employees account. I was wondering if this true. Because what my understanding was employee pays 12% of his basic and the employer pays the same.
Please let me know. Urgent. Appreciate your help.
