Dear all,

I have a query about PF & ESI age limits.

1. If an employee attains 58 years of age, what procedure should be followed from the employer's side?
2. In case a person works at a company until 67 years of age, is it mandatory for the employer to contribute to PF? Also, if the company decides to stop PF contributions, what should be done from the employer's side?
3. What are the rules regarding the ESI age limit?

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Colleague,

EPF Pension which is technically known as Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), is a social security scheme provided by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The scheme makes provisions for employees working in the organized sector for a pension after their retirement at the age of 58 years.

According to EPFO guidelines, an employee shall cease to be the member of Pension Fund from the date of attaining 58 years of age or from the date of vesting admissible benefits under the scheme, whichever is earlier. However, in cases of continuation of service, the employer needs to pay the Employees’ Provident Fund Contribution till the date of his or her leaving the service, irrespective of the age of the member. Overall, your contribution can continue if you are a full-time employee on a co ..

  • Dear sir,

    Thank you for providing me with information. I have an additional query regarding employees who are above 58 years of age. At that time, how should the employer prepare the challan? Should we prepare the challan for EPF 3.67%, EPS 8.33%, EDLI 0.5%, and admin charge 0.5% from the employer's side, or should we only prepare for EPF 12% and other charges? What is the correct procedure, sir?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Colleague,
    As y0u also know the contribution of 12% of employer and 12% of employee is mandatory and applicable administrative charges are applicable.

    While the entire share of the employee is contributed towards EPF, 8.33% of the employer’s share goes towards EPS. The scheme acts as a regular source of income after the employee retires. In the present scenario you may consult the PF Enforcement Officer for more clarity but to my knowledge we should not reduce the contribution but entire 12% of the Employers' share has to go to PF for this employee. This is what we use to do also in the past on such cases in several organizations.

    Take care,
