Dear Sir / Ma'am
A friend of mine has been working with a company since last 4 to 5 months. Every month the company deducts certain amount from his CTC for PF but despite putting in several requests the accounts or the HR department are not telling him his EPF number.
The new employees who have been now hired in last two weeks are being asked if they would like their PF to be deducted or not (an option which was not given to my friend or any other previous employee)
With regard to the above stated I have the following queries.
1. Is an employer allowed to hide the PF details (PF number and balance) from the employee?
2. Since the PF contribution is optional (his basic salary has always been more than 6500 ) what can he now do to ensure that no more deduction are made from his CTC for PF?
3. What is the procedure for withdrawing the amount contributed till date?
