Dear All,
I am adding few files on Establishment Exemption (1-3) and on Expat (4 & 5).
Kindly go through them and post your queries.

p.f. Coverage is not choice of individual employee.but in following situation he exempt himself from coverage.
1) his basic salary is above rs 6500/- since the beginning.
2) if he is giving declaration in form no -11 that he was not a p.f. Member in his previous company
3) if his age is above 58 years.
4) total strength of employees is less than 20 in the establishment.

If the Salary is More Than Rs.6500/- than he can be exempted. But the condition is that he should not be a member of EPF earlier. You have to get signed Form No.11.

I understand that if any employee is having basic more than 6500 than he can opt for exemption under sec 17 by filing form 1 and form 11. Is it right? Seniors please clarify my doubt.

coverage of p.f. Is not the choice of individual employee. It is the law and if somebody comes under the definition of coverage then he has to cover.
1) his basic at the time of joining is below rs -6500/-pm
2) if he is already covered then issue of rs 6500/- does not arise
3)p pf has no connection with the p.f
4) it is a statutory requirement.
5) self declaration has no meaning if his basic salary/wages is under the coverage of pf.

can employee exempt himself and his employer from deduction of PF if he/she gives the request in written that he/she do not want to enroll for PF deductions.
Please advise
