Pf Contribution Can It Be Reduced - Docx Download

Dear Mr. Sasikumar,
The meaning of "workmen" is spelt out in section 2(s) of ID Act, 1947 and not 29s) as you have mentioned in your reply. Hope it might be a typographical error from your part.
Anyhow, the meaning is still debatable and hence, in a way, everyone other than the Managing Director Or CEO of a company, falls under the "workmen" category only because of the reason that no body is actually vested with the decision making power in an organisation, which is an essential ingredient "to be out of a workmen category" as per clause (iv) of sub-section (s) of section 2 of ID Act, 1947.
Since it is a debatable issue, S. Arthy still can go ahead with the notice u/s 9A if wish to.

Yes It is typogarphical mistake. Thanks for pointing out.My clarification is only with reference to situations where Sec.9-A is applicable i.e -workmen.The definition of workman is clear in that it excludes even those exercising supervision over the work of a subordinate/s reporting to him and drawing a salary exceeding Rs.10000/- p.m though they do not discharge other mangerial functions like sanctioning leave or taking disciplinary action etc.However as a prudent administrative practice and by way of abundant caustion, it is better to take consent from every emlployee or issue notice.

Dear Keshav Ji & Saikumar Ji,
What happens when some of the employees does not give their consent to the employer ( to limit employer PF contribution to Rs.6500). How does the employer go a head in such a scenario?
Secondly when there is a notification by Company 21 days before changing policy on PF contribution. It is deemed that all employee have accepted the notification?
Regards,
Suresh
