If the employer employs any person as a trainee for 12 months or more in his organization, is he bound to contribute to PF or ESI fund? Shall the employer deduct any contribution from his trainee for PF or ESI fund?

Hi,
As per norms, both PF and ESI should be deducted from the date the employee joins an establishment. However, if the trainees are given a stipend, then PF need not be deducted from them, but ESI should still be deducted.

Dear Joy,
Your question is very interesting, and I want to clarify that a "Trainee who receives a salary categorized under the head of Stipend is not eligible for PF deduction. However, ESI will be deducted from the very first day. If a Trainee receives a salary categorized under the head of Basic, HRA, etc., in this case, they are entitled to PF and ESI deductions from the very first day."
For any further queries, you can also contact me directly on my mobile at 9214000855.
