Employee Earning Over 15,000: Is Opting Out of EPFO Coverage Allowed?

New and fresh employee wages

Previously, he was not working with a Basic + DA of more than 15,000/-. He was not interested in being covered by the EPFO and was submitting Form 11 for exemption from EPFO. Is this acceptable?

Hi, If the new employee is already a member of the EPF Scheme, then the employee will continue to receive PF benefits. However, if the new employee is not a member of the PF scheme and if his/her PF wages are greater than Rs. 15,000, such employees can be excluded from PF. Form 11 should be collected for the same.
