Dear Sir,
After attaining the age of 58 years, one senior staff member is extending his services for two more years. Can we continue his PF deduction (both shares in the PF column and pension amount will be zero), and can we fill out form 10-D for pension? Is this legally permissible?
Kindly advise.

Dear Mr. Shailesh Pandey,
There is no age limit in EPF. However, on the day of completion of 58 years, pension contributions are to be ceased, and one becomes eligible for pension along with their salary. Consequently, full remittance should be made to the PF, and Form 10D is to be submitted for the pension claim.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your correct advice. Kindly reply to my related question as provided below.
In my previous company, there was an individual who had been in attendance for 58 years. Although the annual return (3-A) was submitted as regular staff's 3-A, the P.F. official advised me to enter zero amount in the pension section and 12% of Employee and 12% of Employer's contribution in the P.F. column. The formalities for 10-D had been completed to initiate the pension, yet the same P.F. deduction was continued.
The question is whether we should continue with this approach.
