Doubt About PF,ESIC

hi my dear hr aspirants, my self mahesh thiruvaipti i have a one query on PF,ESIC. if one employee hired for 3 months duration internship than he/she is eligible for PF,ESIC? MANY THANKS

Sir, please intimate whether the said employee has been engaged under "Apprentices Act, 1961" through the authority established under said Act ?

Dear Mahesh
The Internship is meant for the students who needs to gain the knowledge on the concerned industry. Hence normally they will not be provided any salary or stipend or any monetary benefit to the internship trainees. As a matter of fact, those interested should get the letter from their college and join as Internship trainee. Once there is no payment means the PF and ESI cannot be implemented.
