Can Employees Opt Out of PF Contributions if Their Salary Exceeds Rs. 15,000?

HR@Pushpam

Dear All,

Please guide me on the current PF calculation. If an employee's salary is Rs. 15,000 or more and they do not want to contribute to PF, what is the process?

Hi,

If that employee is already a member of the Provident Fund, you cannot exclude him from PF. However, deducting PF for anything in excess of ₹15,000 is optional and not compulsory.
