As per the new ceiling limit of PF, it is mandatory to opt for PF for those whose basic salary is less than ₹15,000.

Query on PF Requirement for Previous Employees

My query is: Is it mandatory to opt for PF for those employees as well who had opted for PF in any of their previous organizations and had a basic salary of more than ₹15,000? Please advise me on the section number as well.

Kindly advise.

Yes, PF contribution is mandatory for employees who are drawing a basic salary of ₹15,000 or below. If any employee's basic salary is above ₹15,000 and they didn't have PF in their earlier organization, then it is optional. In this case, you can take the declaration form.

Query on EPF Membership and Contribution

My query is, if a person was an EPF member earlier and had withdrawn EPF and even FPF, now, if they join a new establishment and their basic salary + DA is more than ₹15,000, under these circumstances, are they liable for EPF benefits? Should the new employer deduct EPF on ₹15,000?
