Dear Kumar, Any organisation havin 20 - 25 employees will have compulsory PF account. All the permamanent, company employees will be given an individual PF number. Isaac Patturaja

PF Act defines an employee as one Basic plus Da is 6500 or less per month Hence those who draw wages more than 6500 need not be covered legally.
Again, if an employee gets covered once he will continue and you can restrict your contribution to 6500.
This is legal position

PF is must for un exempted establishments under the act Upto 6500 contribution is mandatory above 6500 is voluntary

EPF is compulsory for those stablishments employing not less than 20 employees. All employees whose salary (Basic + DA) at the time of joining is not more than Rs 6500 are covered. That means, an employee once covered will continue to be covered irrespective of any hike in his salary.

Dear Kumar,
Provident Fund is compulsory for all organisations employing more than 20 employees. All type of employees irrespective of permenant,casual etc., but drawing Rs.650o and less are covered. But if an employee once covered,he will have to continue as a member if any hike in his salary later. If any employee drawing more than 6500 wishes not to cover under pf, the management has to obtain a letter from the employee for the same.

Hi, I have a small question on this issue. Does the standard deduction of PF 12% remain the same or it changes due to hike in a salary or any other reason. Plz guide. Thanks Mehul Mehta

The standard rate of contribution/ deduction remains the same, ie, 12% irrespective of salary hike. An employee can contribute a higher rate, ie, more than 12% and that is called as 'voluntary contribution' However the employer neednot contribute at a higher rate as does the employee contribute voluntarily. The voluntary contribution is not related to salary, even when the salary is less than 6500, one can opt for higher contribution.

Dear Sir
Pls. let me know that if in a single company once any employee is under PF Policy then is it possible that after a certain time he wants to get out of PF structure and then can he be exempted of it.
