Which trainee are you talking about. A person who is there in your company on probation for 6 months do you call them trainees then yes PF is applicable.
But any person who is there in your company for project training of his college then only stipend is to be paid.

Hi KK
FYI
Trainees in the company do not fall under the category of employees and stipend paid to them will not fall under wages [Rama vilas Service Vs. R.P.F.C., 2000(1) LLJ (Mad.) 709]
Apprentices are excluded from definition of employee, hence no PF deduction for Apprentices to be made [Sundaram Industries Ltd Vs.R.P.F. Commissioner, Karnataka 1996 (III) L.L.J.(Supp) 260]

As per Employees Provident Funds and Misc. Provisions Act, 1952, only those trainees who are engaged as apprentices following the provisions of Apprentices Act, 1961, are exempted from PF. However, the Supreme Court verdict on the case of Campco permits all Trainees irrespective of whether they are under Apprentice Act or not, to be exempted from EPF.
