I work in a company where there are many daily wage-earning laborers. A few laborers work for just 2-3 months and then leave the job. We have been depositing PF contributions promptly. My query is: if any laborer who has worked for less than 6 months wants to withdraw his PF, is it allowed, or is there any clause in PF laws specifying the minimum contribution period required to withdraw PF?

Hi Bhagya If any employees contribution is less than 3 months then he/she can’t withdraw. Only above 3 months PF withdrawal is acceptable

For any service that is less than six months, the amount paid into the Provident Fund can be withdrawn. However, the employer's contribution towards the Pension Fund can only be claimed if the employee has worked for at least six months.

We are trustees of Children's Public School Educational Trust. Two trustees are receiving remuneration for managing the trust. Our remuneration is Rs. 22,000 and Rs. 20,000 respectively. Additionally, there are 18 staff members, out of which 6 are daily wage workers.
Mandatory PF for Permanent Staff
The question arises: is it mandatory to provide PF for the total permanent staff of 19? The salary of the staff varies according to their work periods, but does not exceed 4 hours, ranging from Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 14,000.
However, 6 staff members are not regular employees as they are preparing for competitive exams and are not willing to contribute to the PF.
Considering these circumstances, please provide guidance accordingly.

Since there are 20 employees in total, you will be covered by PF. You and the other member of the trust are receiving a salary of more than Rs 15,000, so the two of you will not be covered, but all others will be covered. Part-time employees will also be covered, even if they are not interested.
