Dear Thomas,
Yes, it is compulsory should have contribute Pf contribution. but remember one thing PF contribution should be both side.
I mean if foreigner employee is related to japan country. than you have to submitted Pf contribution of Indian salary & japan salary of 12%. One important point is that Salary should not be in parts like BASIC, HRA, MEDICAL ALL., LTA not to need. It is only Basic.
I have knowledge only that points with assure.
Thanks

PF is not on basic but on full salary paid to the expat, including allowances paid.

Please find the latest guidelines on PF issued by KPMG

Mr. Murali kandukuri,
I had already wrote that no need for salary should be in parts like HRA, LTA, Conveyance All, etc....
So i had mean that make a single part that is BASIC. and deduct pf on same.

You must pay pf contributions on international workers drawing salary in India and Indian currency what they will get and P.F calculate 12% on Total salary not in basic + DA.

Dear Thomas,
PF has to be deducted for them also.
12% from them and Employer 12% has to paid as it is.
i.e., For example: His basic pay is 1,00,000. His 12% is 12,000/- then 3.67% & 8.33% has to be paid as 3670 & 8670 accordingly. We should not limit to Rs.6500/-

Dear All,
Why is the employer contribution in this regard only 12% or is it 13.61% itself ?
How can an expat claim the amount if he's in India for only few yrs and has to leave the country before retirement age provided the constraint of not having an Indian bank account ?
Thank you
Edwin Thomas

Dear Edwin,
Please note the following points for your reference in regards to foreign workers / expats :-
a) PF deduction is 12% from employee and 12% + 1.61 % employer
b) Percentage i.e. 8.33% and 3.67% will be on actual basis - it means not limited to Rs. 6500
c) Employee will not be able to withdraw PF amount till the age of retirement / 58 years of age.
d) Expats must have single headed salary structure.
Hope this will meet your requirement.
