Dear Dheeraj,
Basically, if he was a member of the previous organization and now his basic is more than 6500, legally he should be made a member of PF. My friends will be surprised to know this, but it is a fact. To avoid this, the employer asks new joiners to fill up Form 11 of PF, which is a declaration that he was not a member in a previous organization.
Thank you,

Respected sir,
Our institute is appointing an employee whose basic salary will be more than ₹10,000 per month. In the beginning, he said that no PF is being deducted from his salary at his current workplace. However, he is now stating that PF deductions are being made from his salary.

Hi all,
Can anyone clarify the following points, please:
In case of people appointed as retainers in an organization:
- Are the retainers considered employees under labor law, and if so, is it mandatory to convert their employment terms to that of employees?
- Do the retainers fall under the purview of the provisions of the Provident Fund and Gratuity Act?
- If the retainers should be covered under the Provident Fund and their Basic pay should be higher than Rs 6,500 per month, should they continue as retainers as per the company's records or should they be allotted a Provident Fund Number with a Nil return required to be filed (Form 11 obtained)?
- How can the current retainers continue as retainers? For example, could the terms of employment be modified (ensuring that the benefits applicable to all employees also apply to them)?

Dear Friends,
Mr. Malik ji is correct. PF is mandatory as it is a form of social security for the employee. Even if the employee's wage is increased to more than Rs. 6500/-, it is advisable to cover the PF at Rs. 6500/- only for such employees to continue being a member of PF.

Hello Mr. Malik,
I have a query. Is it doesn't matter that the employee strength of the organization is more than 12, so PF deduction is mandatory for the employee? Because if this were the case, that we ask for Form 11 from every employee, then the Cost to Company will be automatically deducted, which will increase the burden on employees due to TDS deductions as well.
Please provide your valuable comments on this.
