Good Afternoon, one of our new joiners joined on 01/01/2021 and opted out of the EPF scheme. The salary/EPF wages were above 15,000 at joining. Now, he approaches to be enrolled in EPF from 01/06/2021. Can we enroll him now in EPF?

Form 11 and PF Enrollment
At the time of joining, you should have collected Form 11, which declares that the employee is not an existing member of PF. Now, you can register him and start contributing to PF. This should not be done with a retrospective date but from the current month only.
Employee Declaration
To be on the safer side, you can collect a letter from the employee stating that he had declined to become a member of PF when he joined, but realizing the benefits associated with the schemes, he would like to get enrolled from this month. This declaration is not to be sent to the PF office, but it can be put in his personal file only. If you had not collected Form 11 earlier, you should collect it now.

I hope and trust that you are covered under the PF Act 1952, and there are other employees covered as well.
Employer's Contribution to PF Scheme
While covering this employee under the PF Scheme, the employer's contribution shall not be deducted from the employee's salary and has to be borne by the company.
Prospective PF Deduction and Form 11
Surely, the PF deduction has to be prospective, and for the past period, keep Form 11 ready with the employee's signature.
