Hi Meenakshi,
As per your query, your organization is eligible for coverage because the enforcement officer counts 20 employees, whether a few workers do their jobs through a contractor. It does not matter; what matters is that 20 employees are working on your premises. The PF Act states that for PF coverage, all staff, whether on a piece rate, daily wages, or through an agency, will be counted.
This is a fact.
I am a practitioner for the last ten years. If you have any queries, feel free to call me.

Hello!
Thanks to all of you for your valuable feedback. I would like to ask Mr. Hrkpati that after getting registered with the PF Department, how is it possible not to deduct and contribute to PF? We need to submit Form-11 on behalf of all employees. Is this possible?
One thing I would like to ask Mr. Murthy is, while filling out the Performa for Coverage for PF Registration, should we not mention the contract employee's name, right? So, should I mention employment strength as 19 or 20?
Thanks,

Thank you, Mr. Kapil & Mr. Chandok, for your valuable feedback. I would like to ask one more thing: while filling the proforma for coverage, should I fill in 19 or 20 for point no. 5 - employment strength? I had written 19+1 (contract employee). If it should be 20, then should I also add his details in point no. 12, which asks for employee details like name and father's name? Please clarify.

Hi,
Rs. 6,500/- is the limit for deducting PF. That means, for below Rs. 6,500/-, employees only need to deduct and contribute. This is the interpretation of the PF Act. Once started with more than Rs. 6,500/- salary, you need not go for PF.
Observe the ESI Act; once Rs. 15,000 is crossed, you can stop the same in the next quarter. But in the PF Act, once PF is started, it should be continued.
