PF is a social security measure, a compulsory saving for your future. This is actually for employees having 6500 or less as basic pay. If your basic pay is more than 6500 pm, you are not covered under PF. However, companies still continue to deduct PF for the 6500 limit of basic wages.
Interest accrues every month at 8% or 8.5% (not sure) on the monthly contributions. You can avail loans for children's education, marriage, etc. This helps to secure a pension after retirement, ensuring you receive payments to survive for a lifetime when you retire and stay at home without any income.
PF is beneficial for a nation like ours, where small savings provide a helping hand in times of old age and emergencies.

Hello All,
If an employee whose salary is higher than $6500 has opted for PF on their joining and after 3 to 4 months wants to opt out of PF, is it possible to do so? If yes, what is the procedure? Which forms need to be filled?
If it is not possible in the middle of the financial year, can the employee opt out during the beginning of the new financial year? If yes, what is the procedure? Which forms need to be filled?
Looking forward to detailed guidance on this.
Thanks,
