Trainee Stipend - ITI Freshers

Indeed no statutory deductions for stipend, not even specific mode of payment, and deductions are far from that........

Dear Mr R D Babu,
Management always look at the findings to avoid spending on welfare measures to the employees. Any way coming to your point --
If your Company registered under the Apprentice Act ,then you can pay stipend with deduction of ESI is mandatory and EPF contributions not falls liability of Employer,morally it good to provide EPF to Apprentice for social security.
Please go through Apprentice Rules of your state.
Thanks

Dear Babu,
It depends upon Company Norms.
U can show the apprentice candidates as Offroll Employees & u can dispatch their sal by Hand.
There is no need to deduct any PF or any other statuary deductions.
Or else your can show them as onrolls and can deduct PF also( if they want).
