Hello friends and seniors,
I have a query regarding Provident Fund and ESIC. If my salary is Rs. 20,000 per month and at the time of joining, I was exempt from PF and ESIC but worked for 15 to 20 days and received a salary below Rs. 15,000, how will it be treated? Am I liable for PF and ESIC or not? Please describe briefly about the rules and if there are any notifications, please inform me.
This is important and urgent.

I joined the company and initially did not subscribe to EPF. Accordingly, the company credited 12% of basic to my salary as special pay. Next FY, I subscribed to EPF, and then this 12% + my contribution of 12% got credited to my EPF account. Now EPF audit wants the company to recover the 12% paid to me by the company during the non-EPF subscription period from me. Is this legally correct?
