PF Applicability [Thread 422853]

Dear All
I want to know that in my company we recruit some workers on 7000 basic without Pf. But in particular month due to absentisum their basic become lower 6500. Now pf is get applicable on them or not.

Dear Sharmaniranjak,
PF is not applicable to this case. If his basic is Rs. 7000 then as per PF act this
employee's is exempted from PF either he is present or absent.

With Regards,
Vineet Deshmukh

Dear Sharma,
PF has to be deducted if the salary of the employee is less than 6500. If the company is giving 7000 has salary then there is no need of PF deduction even if the amount becomes lessthan 6500 due to his absence.

Dear Mathew & Basima
If an employer vol. cover pf what is the gain for employer, as he also has to contribute equally for pf.
Yes if employee covers it volunteer he is definetly have gains... but what about employer?....i had this ques. alwayz in my mind...
???

if basic salary more than 6500/- also we have to pay pf as employer contribution, 6500/- is ceiling to pf .if basic is more than 6500/- also we have to pay 780/-

Dear Kumar,
That is why I was saying that it is for the employer to decide whether to apply PF even the amount of salary is more than 6500 and the employee cant decide for voluntarily covering. But the thing is that the the employer has to cover all the employee voluntarily who is drawing more than 6500. In some MNC for the purpose of attracting the employees they are voluntarily covering the employees who draw more than 6500 as salary.

Dear All
In any organisation irrespective of its status like company or firm if it is restricting its contribution only to those employees below the PF limit basic of Rs.6500/-right from the beginning of the coverage period, then there is no need for covering that staff whose basic is above 6500/-. But suppose, the said organisation is covering all the employees irrespective of basic either below or above Rs.6500/-, then no single new or old employee can be exempted for PF coverage even though his basic is above Rs.6500/- But by submitting form No.XI the said new employee can be got exempted.

i want to know that our Head Office having 10 -15 employee
n factory having 300 worker they are cover under pf with PF code
now the question is
1) is the Head Office eligible for PF even 10-15 employee?
2) for PF we have to apply for new code or we can used same but the factory establish in other state ?
plz suggest?
