PF Contribution Made Optional For Employees

tejhr9@gmail.com
In an employee-friendly move, the government today made provident fund contribution optional for workers getting salary below a threshold.
However, the employer will continue to contribute his share of the PF irrespective of the worker opting not to pay his contribution.
“…for employees below a certain threshold of monthly income, contribution to EPF should be optional, without affecting or reducing the employer’s contribution,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in his budget speech.
Please let me know in detail, thank you.
