Dear Mr. Sanjay
There is no harm in paying PF to TRAINEES irrespective of the RATIO. If your company decides to pay PF to trainees then, this will help your trainees to get motivated and perform better..

that was not my querry we are not paying PF for trainees.but commr saying that trainees are more than that of permanent employees hence we must pay PF
Dear Mr. Sanjay,
Follow what PF COMMISSIONER says. Labor law is always in favor of employees and supports organisations to an extent as well. Do not try to avoid LABOR LAW and try to save. Later, its your company who has to face consequences.

Dear Mr. Sanjay,
P.F. is applicable on trainees (except engaged under the Apprentices Act, 1961). Please refer to the definition of "employee" under the Employees' PF and Misc. Provisions Act, 1952, which I am quoting herein below:
"Section 2 (f):
'employee' means any person who is employed for wages in any kind of work, manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of an establishment, and who gets, his wages directly or indirectly from the employer, and includes any person,-
(i) employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the establishment:
(ii) engaged as an apprentice, not being an apprentice engaged under the Apprentices Act, 1961 (52 of 1961), or under the standing orders of the establishment."
I have not come across or heard of any such legal mandate that fixes proportion of trainees vis-a-vis permanent employee. Employers normally plan recruitment of trainees to groom them imparting on-the-job training so as to absorb them on regular employment on successful completion of their training against normal vacancy as well as against the replacement vacancies created by employees' turnover. Number of trainees are normally determined in the annual HR Budget considering the scope of work, projected manpower requirement and the annual employees' turnover rate.
However, whatever be the number of trainees and their proportion vis-a-vis regular employees, the legal provision is very clear that the EPF and Msc. Provisions Act, 1952, is applicable on them from the day-1 of their employment.
Hope this would be sufficient to clear your doubt over the applicability of PF on trainees.
Please also go through the Sections 14, 14A, 14AA, 14 AB, 14AC of the PF & MP Act, 1952, that would give you a comprehensive idea of the penal provisions in case of default / offence by the employer.
Sincerely,
Vijayanta Kumar Sinha
