As per the new PF amendment, whoever falls below Rs. 15,000/- of salary/wages per month will have to contribute compulsorily to EPF. However, if the contractor manpower strength is less than 20 and the labor wages are also less than Rs. 15,000/-, does the contractor need to get the PF Registration?
