Please refer the Act related to EPF. It is not mandatory if basic income is more then Rs. 15000/- but if employee wants to contribute, then he have to fill up related forms.
it is not clear to me as to voluntary on whose part employer/ employee? and when there is no expressed consent from the employee and intent of employer does the employer have to contribute up to 15000.00 or can he just stop it.
It would be dependent on declared policy of the establishment to deduct EPF on full BASIC + DA or maintain ceiling of 15000/-. However, whatever deduction is made out of employee's salary, the employer has to contribute equal amount + EDLI + Admin charges.
