Dear US Sharma & Shrikant Sir,
First of all, I regret not sharing proper details. I believe that the discussion that has taken place on this post by all of you is providing us with knowledge on all aspects, and we are learning from it. Therefore, please do not consider it as if you both are arguing. Whatever you both have shared is knowledge for us readers.
Further, concerning your query on my offer letter, it is mentioned as "Salary" with bifurcations such as Basic, HRA, DA, Conveyance, Medical Allowances, and Special Allowances, and my salary is above the PF slab. However, regarding the PF part, both sides are not mentioned in the offer letter, and it was verbally communicated to me that it will start after completing the probation period.
I am wondering why PF is not starting from the very first day for a permanent employee. Why is there a condition that it will start after probation? Suppose it is to start after confirmation; should it begin from the first day or from the date of confirmation? In that case, can I raise my voice against it? What are my rights as an employee in this situation? Please guide.
Thank you.

Wonderful #ANONYMOUS salary limit is above the ceiling limit at the time of the interview and signing the offer letter. The employee did not bother to "raise a voice" but accepted it with a smile. I am very sure that in his/her CV and rejoinders, there is no mention of earlier PF details.
There is a certain amount added to your salary compartment as "special allowance." Have you even bothered to think about it? Why is this added? And why is this equivalent or at par, similar to the PF amount?
I request all of you not to make this platform a complaint box or a place to vomit personal grudges. Let it be useful to share knowledge for the benefit of both employee and employer.

Who has a personal grudge? Me? I don't even know you and don't want to know a person who keeps on arguing on wrong lines. Period! Vomit? Speaks volumes about you.
Salary under the PF Act means only basic & DA. There have been judgments about the inclusion of all allowances for PF purposes. But let's not get into all that. If your basic is Rs. 15,000 or less per month, the employer has to deduct PF from your salary from your first pay. If it is more, it is the employer's wish whether to cover you or not.
