Dear Seniors, Kindly suggest that any chance that we can show the employees as consultants after deducting TDS from their salary in these type of situations. Please advise. With Regards, Nandini

How many such "trainees/consultants" do you have? The answer will depend on that.
In any case, this cannot be changed once the employee has already joined. It has to be done before they join. If you try to change it later, the department will not accept it and will consider it as a fraud. Then you will be liable for all penalties.

Dear Saswata,
Thank you for your reply. When an employee is joining with a salary of INR 10,000 per month, if we designate them as a consultant at the time of joining and deduct their TDS, then they will not need to be covered for PF/ESI.
Please confirm.

Adding to the views of Mr. Saswata Banerjee given above, I am of the opinion that 'Consultants' will not be bound by the service rules of the company because they will not be employees under any law. By designation, they are supposed to provide consultancy only and will submit bills for payment. Hence, I suspect that no department will accept the argument that consultants are working 8 to 10 hours in the establishment.

Hi all,
I hope you are all doing well. Thank you so much for all your valuable suggestions. I think keeping them as consultants won't be a good idea as it will just increase the paperwork and burden on the accounts and finance department.
I believe we need to have more brainstorming on this and think of something out of the box. I am also trying my best to find a way out and will surely post here.
Warm Regards,

Hello Abhinav,
Maybe you can consider hiring them on a Fixed Tenure Contract and keep renewing it after the current contract expires or whenever you wish to increase his/her salary, so that the PF wouldn't be an issue, whichever is earlier.
@ Saswata Banerjee-- Do you think this can work out from the F&A angle?

Hi,
Consider the new joiners as trainees for a certain period (say 1 year). In my opinion, the salary is low, and most of them depend on the net take-home pay to meet their monthly expenses. Discuss with the employees about the importance of such deductions and proceed accordingly. Some may accept the proposal, while others may opt for it after a certain period.
