EPF For The Employees.

Hi Every one,
We have started a new concern with 21 employees. Is it mandatory to Pay EPF for the employees. Most of the employees preferred not to have EPF. Is there is any alternate way for EPF?

It is mandatory to get PF registration to your establishment. The employees cannot opt out from it. Certainly, if all the employees are getting salary of more than Rs 15000 per month, they can be excluded from the coverage of PF, but the establishment will have to be registered.
