Dear Arundhati,
If PF is once deducted then it has to be deducted heanceforth as well, only option is to restrict your and employees contribution on maximum of Rs. 15000/-. If the person was never member of PF then it is not required to be deducted but you need to get form 11 filled for your records. Also, if the amount is Rs. 15000/- then yes it will be deducted as PF says the mandatory ceiling is Rs. 15000/- and if it is over and above this limit then only you can think of other options.
