As per the EPF Act, if an establishment employs twenty people and 3 employees' basic pay is less than 15k, is the establishment eligible for PF coverage?
Yes, this establishment with 20 employees is eligible and, in fact, obligated for PF coverage under the EPF Act, even though 3 employees are drawing less than ₹15,000 basic pay.
EPF coverage depends on the number of employees, not on their basic salary being greater or less.
