PF Deduction and Salary Threshold

If an employee joined with a basic salary below ₹10,000 in May 2010 and the employer deducted PF accordingly, and gradually his salary increased to now cross the basic salary of ₹15,000 (the threshold limit for PF), can the employer cancel his PF deduction without the permission of that employee? Please advise.

Hi, Even if the employee’s PF salary exceeds Rs.15,000/- the Employer is liable to contribute Rs 1,800 (12% of Rs 15,000) and you cannot cancel the whole PF abruptly
