Meaning Of Infancy Protection Under PF Act 1952

Sir,
Please I have confusion regarding Infancy protection concept in PF act 1952. Please clarify the same .
Regards
V.B.Patil

Under the infancy protection , the Act was not applicable for the establishment employing 50 or more persons , up to a period of three years from the date of set up . Infancy of five years was allowed in the case of establishment employing twenty or more persons but less than 50 person
This period was called infancy period under PF Act
However, . effective 22-9-1997 this infancy period has been dispensed with and all the establishments employing 20 or more persons are brought under the purview of the Act from the very date of set up subject to fulfillment of other conditions .

Thank you for your reply,
You quotes that [B][U]However, . effective 22-9-1997 this infancy period has been dispensed with and all the establishments employing 20 or more persons are brought under the purview of the Act from the very date of set up subject to fulfillment of other conditions . What are the other conditions. should we pay the monthly contribution upto 3/5 years?

There are just two conditions
1. The establishment must be in the purview of notified industry. Today most of the industries are notified I could not recollect offhand which industry is not notified
2. The coverage commences on the day it starts engaging 20 employees. Of course it is optional for the Management to commence earlier.
