Dear Seniors,

Please clarify the legal status regarding PF:

- If an employee has been working in an establishment for the past 2 months and their PF is being deducted from their salary and deposited in India.
- After two months, they are posted abroad and are receiving a salary from a unit located outside India.
- What will be the status of that employee in India?
- Is it mandatory to deduct PF and deposit it in India?
- Should PF be deducted and deposited in India or not?
- Should PF be deducted in abroad?

Kindly advise on the matter.

With Best Regards,

He will be covered by the rules prevailing abroad, and meanwhile, his PF account may be kept as it is. The same PF account number may be continued when he comes back to INDIA and starts receiving the salary from here.
