No compnay is exempted to this including STPI registered IT Units.

Dear Friends,
Thanks to one and all who responded to my mail by spending their valuable time on the above subject. Basically, i do have the knowledge of the statutory obligations as i am having 5years of exposure with manufacturing concerns dealing with core HR activities. But the issue here is recently i joined a software company where there is no subscriptions to the P.F.
Where as, i heard that most of the software companies which are under the age of 5years are exempted from paying P.F. when they are been registed with Software Technologies park of India (STPI).
I was been informed by many people that most of the software companies at hyderabad do not subsrcibe for P.F. as they are exempted establishments.
It would be appreciable if any body can clear my doubt with a substantive material enabling me to be the upper hand in subsribing the P.F for my company.
Thanks & Regards
