Excluded Employee Concept under EPFO
There is a concept under EPFO called "Excluded Employee." If the employee is already a member of PF and their salary is more than 15,000/- per month (Basic & DA), then the employee will continue as a PF member. For a new employee at the time of joining, or any employee who was earlier a member of PF and subsequently withdrew their amount and closed their membership but is joining again with more than 15,000/- per month as Basic & DA, they will be considered an excluded employee.
