Employee joined the firm and was given ESI. He filled PF Form 11 stating he did not have any past PF. As his salary of ₹18,000 was above the PF bracket, the firm only provided him with ESIC benefits. Now, after 7 months of work, the employee is demanding PF and claiming that he was a past PF member, presenting old PF records from his previous firm.

What should we do now?

Welfare contributions are to be offered to all employees on a uniform basis. It does not matter if the basic of any employee is more than 15000; they are considered an "excluded employee" unless they provide written notice that they are not a member of PF and do not wish to join.

One more note: The employer has the option to take disciplinary action against an employee for providing false information, as stated in Form 11.
