Dear All,
Our Delhi branch is paying salary to the employees above the minimum wages in our industry at Delhi ie Rs7100.There are 180 employees at Delhi branch.It has started operating from April 2011 and is right now not covered under PF.PF is optional in our company ie employees with basic salary more than 6500 are not under PF coverage. Now the management wants no employee at Delhi should be under PF as their minimum basic is already 7100.
Please opine whether the scenario is legal or not
