Hi Madhu
If the basic amount is above 15000/- then you can restrict the contribution to 15000/- and if it is less then you have to pay 12% on the wages. Already there was huge discussions regarding the burden but there is no any other option. It is also a savings for the employees for future
PF amount can be taken on the following conditions
Medical Emergencies
Marriage
Purchase / construction of house
Self or kids marriage
Higher education purpose

Dear Madhushree,
First you need to start beleving that PF is not a burden. The amount comes handy when a person retires as he gets pension and also a lumsum amount. This is not possiable if all start beleving that PF is a burden.
Most of the people who think that way, are the hoppers or feshers. Freshers i can understand the need for more money in hand, but with hoppers, this is just an excuse.
It is s forced benefit, which has its value, when money stops pouring the way it currently pours.

Dear Karthik,
If the PF has been transfered, then he is eligible as it says that the 5years critia is for countinous 5 years, here it is 4+2 6 countinious years. It does not make a difference, if those 5 years are in the same company or different companies.

Dear Madhu,
PF is not a burden. It is a social security that every employer needs to provide. Both the employee and employer contribute the same amount towards PF.
Either you can restrict the Basic to Rs. 15000/- or irrespective of Basic 12% will be deducted from the Basic of the Employee.
Regarding withdrawal, it is already mentioned under what are the circumstances he/she can withdraw.
WArm regards,
