If you have paid EPF contribution for an employee and if his salary exceeds 6500 after few months by means of increment it doesn't give the option of stopping his EPF contribution. You need to make the EPF contribution for that employee as long as he stays with your company. It doesn't means that you should make EPF contribution for the full salary. It's enough if you make the contribution for Rs.6500/- alone.

Dear Raj,
If an employee at the time of appointment getting basic salary more than 6500; then he can be excluded from the ambit of the act,
Secondly, if as per the policy of management if such an employee is offered PF then :
1.Employee contribution can be deducted on total salary fix in basic, V.D.A. OR D.A. FIX D.A. etc. but not on allowances. and further employer contribution, if permitted, can be remitted on the same,
2.Employee contribution on as stated above at 1; but employer contribution be restricted to 6500/-
3.Both contribution can be on 6500/-
Like this u can choose one option from 3 above,Pls. note that if employee is getting consolidated salary then PF shud go on it as per option 1 & 2 so far employee contribution is concern.
