Dear Mr. Khaleel,
Please note that the provisions are applicable to the trainees as well unless being an apprentice engaged under the Apprentices Act, 1961 (52 of 1961) or under the standing orders of the establishment (section 2(e)(ii).

Dear Mr. PK Sharma, thanks for your quick response. I invite your kind attention to the Apex Court Judgment dated 30-01-2006 in case No. Appeal (Civil) 978 of 2000, in which the Apex Court stated that the trainees are 'Apprentices' engaged under the 'Standing Orders' of the establishment and hence they do not come within the ambit of the EPF Act. It was further stated that the trainees are paid a stipend during the period of their training and they have no right to employment nor any obligation to accept any employment if offered by the employer. Kindly offer your opinion on this.
