Is It Legal for My School to Refuse Deducting My Provident Fund? Seeking Advice

Hi, I am a regular teacher in a private school that is part of a large group consisting of 130 schools, where I have been employed for the last 12 years. I want my Provident Fund (PF) to be deducted by the school, and I have discussed this with the Principal and school management. However, the school management is not willing to deduct my PF. I would like to know if the school management can deny my PF eligibility, considering that PF is deducted for most teachers, all office staff, and all Group D employees. Only a few remain (16 out of 118). Please help me in this situation.

Thank you

EPFO Non-Compliance and PF Inspector Powers

It is difficult to believe that EPFO has overlooked such a blatant non-compliance of the EPF Act 1952. The PF Inspectors have the power to investigate the matter and ensure compliance from day one of employment. In addition to imposing interest and penalties, prosecution is also possible. To draw the attention of PF authorities, RTI can be used to seek information on the inspections conducted by PF inspectors.
