How Can I Avoid PF Deductions from My Salary? Seeking Advice on Necessary Documents

I am working in a Pvt Ltd Co. My basic salary is Rs 10,000/-. The company wants to deduct PF from my salary, which I don't want. Can anybody suggest what document I should provide so that the PF is not deducted from my salary?

As of now, the EPF Department is going to revise the EPF Wages Ceiling, and the ceiling is going to be increased to Rs. 15,000/-. So, if currently you opt out, it will not be for a long time as the revised ceiling will be notified within 1-2 months. Therefore, it is better to opt for EPF, as it will save you Rs. 1,560/- per month. After the revision, the savings will increase to Rs. 2,400/- with an interest rate of 8.75%, which is a good return.

Furthermore, the decision is yours. I hope this comment will help you make a good decision.

Regards.

A simple form is available to inform your company about the non-deduction of PF. However, as per the new norms, all employees with a basic salary less than or equal to ₹15,000 shall be liable for compulsory PF. Take PF as a compulsory saving for yourself.

Form 11 for PF Deduction

Form 11 needs to be filled in if you do not want PF deduction.

If my salary is ₹17,000, can I deduct my EPF above the ceiling rate? Please suggest.

Thank you.
