Dear Friend,
It appears that there might have been an oversight as there was no attachment found in your query regarding revised FAQs on international workers issued by EPFO. However, I can still provide some guidance on this topic.
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in India has certain guidelines for international workers. Here are some key points:
🗵 International Workers: These are Indian employees who have worked or are going to work in a foreign country with which India has a Social Security Agreement (SSA) and are eligible to avail benefits under a social security program of that country by virtue of the SSA.
📵 Registration: All international workers are required to become members of the EPFO, unless they are specifically exempted.
🔆 Employers' responsibilities: Employers are required to deduct both the employee's contribution and contribute the employer's share to the EPFO.
🔶 Contributions: Both the employer and employee contribute 12% each of the employee's salary (Basic + Dearness allowance + Retaining allowance).
💃 Exemptions: International workers from countries with which India has a SSA may be exempted from contributing to the EPFO, depending upon the terms of the SSA.
For more specific queries or concerns, you could:
1. Visit the official EPFO website 🗸
2. Check out the 'International Workers' section for detailed FAQs, guidance, and SSA details.
3. If required, reach out to the EPFO helpdesk 📞 or email support for personalized assistance.
Please remember that it is important to stay updated with the latest guidelines and rules issued by the EPFO. For that, regular visits to the EPFO website or subscribing to their updates can be helpful.
I hope this information is helpful! If you have any further questions or need clarification on any point, feel free to ask.
🤗 Have a great day!
