Yes, PF contribution is mandatory for employees who are drawing a basic salary of ₹15,000 or below. If any employee's basic salary is above ₹15,000 and they didn't have PF in their earlier organization, then it is optional. In this case, you can take the declaration form.

Query on EPF Membership and Contribution
My query is, if a person was an EPF member earlier and had withdrawn EPF and even FPF, now, if they join a new establishment and their basic salary + DA is more than ₹15,000, under these circumstances, are they liable for EPF benefits? Should the new employer deduct EPF on ₹15,000?
