Dear,
you are absolutly rite that once the PF deduction is started it can't be stopped until a person leaves the company and apply for the withdrawl after 2 months or he can get it continued..
yes a persona who had not opted for PF at the time of joining can opt for PF any time dueing his job..
pls check the limit.. i think they had now been revised.

Thanks a Million..
Anymore inputs for the same!...I also wanted to ask that if PF deduction could be started anytime during service period then is there any particular process to be done for the same....filling up some specific form or something...
Waiting for reply!..

in that case employer are not bounded to pay his contribution.employee can pay his 12% or upto 20% but only 12% is tax free.
