Coverage of Apprentices and Trainees Under ESI and EPF
Yes. Only apprentices engaged following the Apprentice Act, 1961, are excluded from the coverage of ESI and EPF. All other trainees will be covered by all statutory social security schemes, subject to the wage ceiling mentioned in each scheme. That is, if the salary is above Rs 15,000, they can be excluded. However, if any management trainee is already a member of PF, they should be given coverage. Similarly, if the salary is more than Rs 21,000, they can be excluded from ESI.
