Is it a declaration by the employee required?
No employee who comes under the purview of ESI can declare that his ESI should not be deducted or he should not be covered by ESI. Obviously, if his salary exceeds Rs 21000, he will not be covered by ESi but for that, no declaration is required. Similarly, no employee who is coverable by PF can declare that his PF should not be deducted. However, if the employee joining the company is drawing more than Rs 15000 as a monthly salary, then the employer can exclude him from PF on the ground of a declaration in form 11 in which he should declare that he was not previously covered by EPF.
