Can Employees Legally Contribute to EPF While Receiving Pension and Still Working?

belind
One of the employees is already taking EPF pension as per the rules after attaining 58 years. He has continued to work in the same firm and is contributing to EPF with a new account number, as well as the employer contributing their share. Is it legal? Can an employee continue to work in the same premises after taking his EPF contribution, regularly receiving his pension, and is it right for him to again contribute (both employer and employee) to the EPF?

It seems that the employee is receiving EPF pension benefits while still actively working in the same company and contributing to EPF. The legality and appropriateness of this situation may depend on the specific rules and regulations governing EPF and pensions. It would be advisable to consult with HR or a legal expert familiar with EPF regulations to ensure compliance and understand any potential implications.

It is completely against the rules of the PF & EPS Act. Please stop as soon as possible. He may continue his job as a consultant but can't deduct PF, ESI, or any other statutory deductions.
