Dear,
I want to know if any person in the last company was drawing a basic salary of less than 6500/-, and if they join our company with a salary of more than 6500/- (i.e., 6700 or something else), is it necessary to legally deduct their PF, or is it voluntary? Is there any legal support for that?
Secondly, if a person was drawing more than 6500/- and contributing to the PF in their last company, does any legal obligation exist for them now in the new company?
Please let me know.

Hello Madam/Sir,
I am Yogesh, currently working as an HR Executive in an auto ancillary company based in Pithampur. I have a confusion and would appreciate it if you could clarify. If an employee is covered under the PF act but does not want to contribute to the PF scheme, what is the procedure to stop that deduction from their salary? What are the employer's responsibilities regarding this matter? Please reply soon.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mr. Yogesh,
It is not possible to not deduct PF contributions from an employee's salary if their Basic+DA is less than or equal to 6500. This deduction is mandatory if your organization is covered under the PF act.
As an employer, your responsibility is to register employees under the PF act and educate them about the same. Failure to do so may result in penalties from PF authorities.
Thanks

Dear Madam/Sir,
Thank you for the reply regarding whether PF deduction is compulsory or not. Now, I want to know if an employee disagrees with deducting PF, is it possible or not? Please reply soon. This refers to an employee not willing to contribute to PF.
