Exempted vs. Unexempted Establishments

Please note that exempted establishments are those to which this Act applies if, in the opinion of the appropriate Government, the rules of its Provident Fund, such as the rate of contribution, interest levied thereon, pension, etc., are not less favorable to its employees than the benefits available under the EPF & MP Act, 1952. Such establishments can be granted exemption from the operation of all or any of the provisions by a gazette notification issued by the appropriate Government.

Unexempted establishments are those covered under the provisions of the EPF & MP Act, 1952.

I think you are not correct. "Excepted establishment" means the establishment beyond the purview of the EPF & MP Act, 1952. You are welcome if you have proof of the converse.
