Hi
According to EPFO guidelines, an employee shall cease to be the member of Pension Fund from the date of attaining 58 years of age or from the date of vesting admissible benefits under the scheme, whichever is earlier. However, in cases of continuation of service, the employer needs to pay the Employees’ Provident Fund Contribution till the date of his or her leaving the service, irrespective of the age of the member.

Hello,
Singh Bhim,
Can you confirm why do you want to deduct PF after retirement of an employee?
I would not recommend to deduct PF after 58 years because after completion of 58 years related employee is eligible to get pension benefit.

Retirement age in many organizations now is 60 years, so PF deduction is based on retirement and not only 58 years of age.

EPF and EPS are exclusive benefits. Though employee retires at 58 and eligible for EPS, he can continue contributing to EPF. We are to understand here one thing, that it is a retiral benefit and the accrual will provide additional benefit to employee. When it is beneficial to employee and who can contribute further, it can be continued till his retirement.
