Good morning, everybody,

Dear all, I am working with a manufacturing company as an HR Executive. My query is, what is the use of Form No. 11 under the PF Act, 1952? My senior fills that form for most of the employees, and I don't know about that form.

Thanking you all.

The Form No. 11 is used for exemption under PF, which means you wish to discontinue contribution towards PF.

Understanding Form No. 11 Under the PF Act of 1952

Dear all, I am working with a manufacturing company as an HR executive. My query is, what is the use of Form No. 11 under the PF Act of 1952? My senior fills out that form for most of the employees, and I don't know about that form. Thank you all.

It is only for those employees whose contribution is not covered under the EPF Act. It is called a declaration form/nomination form for exempted employees. It is filled out by the employee, and one photocopy is sent to the Regional office. The second one is for your records. When any PF inspector asks for this, then you have to show it.

Dear Form 11 is used for the pension scheme. When someone joins, they need to fill out Form 2 and Form 11 under the PF Act of 1952.

PF Exemption and Form 11 Requirement

If any laborer is receiving Rs. 7000 as basic pay and is not interested in deducting his PF amount, we require a receipt declaration form. Please send PF exemption Form 11 as soon as possible.

Dear Seniors, Please explain the difference between Form 1 and Form 11. If an individual employee wishes to seek an exemption from EPF contribution, which form should be filled out? Awaiting your answers...

I filled out Form 11 without knowing much about it at the time. Now, I would like to cancel it to utilize the PF facility. How can I go about canceling my request? And is it beneficial for me to do so?

My salary is 34,000 rupees per month.

Thanks.

Can I fill out Form 11 for not deducting PF in the new company even though I have a PF account number in the old company? My basic salary is more than Rs 6500.

Form No. 11 is for an employee whose basic salary exceeds ₹6,500. This form is used to demonstrate to the authorities that the employee is exempted from paying their contribution.

I am working with a company and have a query regarding the use of Form No. 11 under the PF Act of 1952. My HR executive fills out that form for most employees, but I am unfamiliar with its details. Could you kindly provide me with information about that form?

Thank you all.

Form 11 is a declaration by the member regarding their membership of the Provident Fund (PF). If you view Form 11, you will understand the necessity of this form. The member declares whether they have withdrawn their earlier PF, their previous PF number for EPF and EPS, or if they were not a member of EPF.

If this is their first employment and their PF wages are above Rs 15,000, they will not be a member of the EPS scheme. Hence, the declaration is important.

Thanks, Vidyadhar Bhat.

I am working in a construction company as a daily laborer, and my basic wage is $11,540. They deduct 12% of the basic wage for PF. Now, they are asking me to fill out Form 11.

Purpose of Form 11

What is the purpose of Form 11? After submitting that form, what will happen? Can I claim my PF amount? Kindly advise me on whether I should fill it out or not.

Regards
Vidyadhar Bhat
The Form 11 is a declaration given by the member when joining the establishment. In the declaration, details of your previous establishment are provided, including the code number and PF number, among other information. If the company wishes to update their records, which they have not done previously, they should fill out Form 11 and submit it to the company.

Thanks,

Form 11 is not an exemption form but a declaration from the employee. In this form, the member declares whether they have an active EPF account from past service(s) or not. If they have any account in the past, they will declare it on Form 11 and continue to contribute to EPF in their present employment. In case their basic salary plus DA exceeds ₹15,000 and they have not contributed at any time to any provident fund, that will appear in the Form 11 declaration.

Employers have to offer the EPF benefit to all employees. However, after submitting Form 11, if the member wants to remain non-contributory, then the member has to submit a letter to the employer, stating the willingness to remain non-covered due to any of the following reasons:

a) Basic salary plus DA exceeds ₹15,000
b) Member has no past EPF contribution record
c) Member has crossed the age of 58
