Dear HR Managers
Please go through recent observation on "International Workers" on the cite HR link page:

The matter is required to be dealt properly as I find the scheme draft suffering from Legal lacuna.

Please breif me with your opinion

There are problems with the new PF Amendments. FIrst, there seems to be no cap on the contributions, secondly, it is applicable only to those employees who are going to work in the country with whom we have SSAs.
