Minimum Days For PF Calculation

Hi All,
Can anyone please let me know that minimum days to deduct pf from the employee and do we need to deduct pf from daily contract labour also, if yes how to calculate.

Dear Pemmarajuswetha,
There is no minimum days required to deduct PF. 12% of salary (whether it is monthly or daily basis) is to be remitted to PF.
Abbas.P.S

Where did this concept of minimum days of PF deduction come from???
There is no such clause in the entire act. Anyone if has suggested you to do something like that, please stop the same immediately.

There is no minimum days to qualify for EPF or ESI deduction .Even if an employees works for a day and earn wages ESI &EPF shall be deducted.

Previously 60 but now their is no minimum days for PF deductions. This is applicable on all persons those who are working directly or indirectly in the organisation.

Dear Pemmarajuswetha,
Your approach to the contributing members in this forum seeking advice for your query is not proper. You must very well aware that, in this forum, there are more senior HR professionals are sharing their experience by giving suitable advice for the needed members. I think you are in HR personnel and improve your language in approaching any body even may be your subordinate .
Now coming to your query, as such there is no minimum qualifying period to admit any body as a Member of Employees Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 irrespective any category of employees. Even if he worked for less than one month also you have to deduct his share. There was earlier 240 days in 1973, then 120 days in 1980, after 60 days and lastly 30 days. Now as on today the EPFO has removed this eligibility criteria.
