Under EPF Schemes, an employee who draws more than Rs15,000 per month at the time of joining is considered a non-eligible employee. However, he can become a member if he voluntarily chooses to do so and the PF commissioner agrees. For more information, please refer to Section 1(ff) of the EPF Act 1952.
