Can Long-Time Employees Join EPF with a Higher Salary? Seeking Clarity

If an employee who joined the organization six years ago with a starting basic salary of Rs 30k monthly, can now be registered in the EPF with a present basic salary of Rs 50k monthly? He was never a member of the EPF.

Hi, if he is already a contributing member to PF, he can continue to contribute to PF. PF can be deducted either on the actual Basic (employer discretion) or a minimum of Rs. 15,000/-.

He was never a member of PF before. Now, after six years of service, he wants to get registered in EPF. During joining and now, both times, his basic salary was above 15k.

Hi, in that case, he will not be eligible for pension contributions and can contribute only to PF. PF can be deducted either on the actual basic or for Rs. 15,000/-.
