PF is applicable if:
1. Your Basic plus DA is 6500 or less.
2. Your age is less than 58 years.

Is PF the same as EPF? There is no compulsion for EPF for companies with less than 10 employees according to this site: EPFO

You are correct that there is no compulsion, but it is necessary for employees' future security. Anyways, you can consider the following options: increase the amount in special allowance, or if you prefer to show a deduction, allocate the PF amount to insurance deduction.

Dear,

First of all, you have to see whether you are receiving the minimum wages as per your designation. You need to refer to the minimum wages GO and mention the basic plus DA as per the gazette, and any remaining balance amount can be allocated to other categories.

For example, if the minimum wage is 3800 and DA is 800, your breakdown should be as follows:
- Basic: 3800
- DA: 800
- Conveyance: 400

However, I hope that you are receiving the minimum wages. Nowadays, the minimum wages are on the higher side, around Rs. 5000.

Thank you.

EPF attracts on employees go 20 or more in any month preceding the last 12 months. You may follow the list provided by Vikram; you have to deduct PT (Professional Tax). Please check the slab with your CA and mention this deduction in the salary slip.

But professional tax is applicable for a monthly salary of $5001 and higher. Therefore, there is no EPF, no PTax, and no TDS. Can 'deductions' in the salary slip look like this: EPF-0, PT-0, TDS-0? Or does it look weird?
