In Employees Pension Fund Scheme, the age is 58 years. But for Provident Fund no age is fixed. That means, an employee who has attained the age of 58 ceases to be a member of Pension Scheme.
At the same time, if an employee joins an organisation after 58 years (as there is no retirement age in private sector unless otherwise provided in the Standing Orders) and if such an employee had not been a member of Employees Provident Fund earlier, then he will be covered and he has to contribute to PF.
In such cases, the employer will contribute the entire 12% to his EPF account and not as 8.33% to Pension Fund and the remaining 3.67% to Provident Fund. In the similar way, if a member of provident fund who has withdrawn his PF accululations on attaining the age of 58 and or who is in receipt of pension from the Employees Provident Fund Organisation, joins a company, he will be exempted from contribution.

Dear Madhu
With reference to your reply , if suppose an employee retired and joined in another company after 58 years , whether he will be covered under PF and allowed to pay his contribution wholly towards PF instead of PF Pension too or he will not be eligible at all for PF membership as such is there any age limitation for ESI membership

Dear Mr.Sudhakar,
If the man of completed 58, joining a new firm, the new employer need not to take him in PF Scheme, as PF is not compulsory for employer after the retirement age. The new employer need not to put contribution also to him. He is also not eligible for Pension Scheme as he is 58+
But as a Voluntary Contribution,(Employee contributions alone) the employee of 58+ can contribute only to the EPF and not to any other fund. The question of equal contribution by the employer for any voluntary rate of contribution by any body at any point of time will not arise at all.

A retired employee means an employee who had been a member of EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND and PENSION FUND instituited the Employees Provident Fund Organisation and NOT AN EMPLOYEE WHO HAD NOT BEEN AN EMPLOYEE COVERED UNDER THE EPF ACT. Similarly an employee who was in government service or railways to which our PF is not applicable but is getting pension from the government (NOT FROM EPF Orgainisation) is NOT AN EXCLUDED EMPLOYEE. For him, though contribution to Pension Fund is not required, PF coverage is MANDATORY.
