Employee Provident Fund Eligibility
[Last Updated Aug 2017]
Every Employee in India should have an Employee Provident Fund if He / She has a salary above Rs. 6500/-. If the Employer does not have it, the employee has right to ask for EPF in his name. Generally, Employer has to pay the equivalent amount for EPF as much as the employee pays.
The employer shall pay the contribution payable to the EPF, EDLI and Employees’ Pension Fund in respect of the member of the Employees’ Pension Fund employed by him directly by or through a contractor.
The government will continue to contribute 1.16% up to the actual wage of maximum Rs.6500 per month towards Employees’ Pension Scheme. The employer’s share in the Pension Scheme will be Rs.541.
Under Employees’ Deposit-Linked Insurance Scheme the contribution @ 0.50% is required to be paid up to a maximum limit of Rs. 6500.
Who is Eligible for Employee Provident Fund?
For New Entrants:

- Declare previous employment details, if any, in Form No. 11 to the employer.
- On becoming a member of the Schemes file details in Form No. 2 ( family particulars/ nominations) through the employer.

New Scheme for Dormant Accounts
Did you know that as of the last financial year Rs 26,496 crore of PF money was with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in inoperative accounts? Now, the EPFO has asked field offices to identify the beneficiaries of inoperative PF accounts and settle those by making payments or transferring money to their active accounts. To quicken the process, EPFO has an online help desk.
This new facility is meant to help members trace their PF numbers or find the total fund accumulated. The biggest problem with subscribers is that they don’t remember their account numbers, said financial planners.
You just need to login to website www.epfindia.com – Under the section ‘for employees’, click on link ‘Inoperative A/C Helpdesk System’. First, the subscriber needs to key in the problem he or she is facing and then fill details such as the name of the employer, date of joining and leaving the company, personal details and so on. Once these are done, you will receive a reference number. You need to keep this reference number.
The EPFO officers will then get in touch with you to verify. After verification, you will be able to transfer your PF balance into your account.

EPF Challan consists of 25.61 % and the classification is as follows.
Exp. if you are earning 6500/- per month , the deduction of provident fund from your salary will be as
Rs.780/- (12% on Rs.6500/-)
1. 12% on Rs. 6500/- it comes to Rs. 780/- (your contribution ) A/c.
2. 12% of employer’s contribution consist of 8.33 % and 3.67%

—————-
Total 12.5 %
4.Administrative Charges:

to join epf scheme one employee can also apply

Hello,
I am currently working in an MNC for the last 4 years. However irrespective of our salary hike our PF deduction always remains 780 per month which is around 2% of my basic component. Moreover this amount ie., 780/- per month is fixed for everyone irrespective of their salary. I have an understanding that companies who are registered in India need to have their employees registered with the EPF but I do not know how they have fixed this amount for everyone.
Kindly let me know if there is any particular clause under the EPF section which allows companies to fix their PF contributions of tehir employees.
Thanks.

hello good evening sir….my basic salary was 6000rs in my co. and i have work for 5 months in that company so i want to ask m i eligible for withdrawl PF???
Better deduct pf or vpf as much as possible . I have seen people whose pf amount get increase by 10k or more every month apart from their contribution.So at somepoint of time when your pf amount increase you will get more n more interests, so someday you will be getting 50k interest from your pf and you can enjoy your salary without thinking about savings.
Better contribute your pf n vpf all your basic salary n try to survive with salary left over after basic. If you can earn that much to manage then you will not have to think about your future, you will get a stable planned savings for your future.

We have 25 members strength. All the employees would be having Basic salary more than Rs. 6500/-. we have no PF Registration. Employees are not interested to joining PF scheme. and one more thing 10 employees in AP State and 15 employees in UP State.
Now my question is Where i get registered and where i filied the returns
please reply me
Thanks
Anand
We have 19 members shortly one more addition would be there to our strength. All the 20 employees would be having Basic salary more than Rs. 6500/-. As per provisions of PF Scheme as soon as we have 20 members we have to take PF Registration No. None of the employees are interested in joining PF scheme. In such cases it is advised that we need to take declaration in Form No. 11. As per Form No. 11 it is just the declaration of earlier employment. It nowhere states that he is willing / not willing to join the PF. Can somebody guide as to whether we need to have PF deduction from all members or not.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi
I want to know what is the minimum Basic + DA limit on which PF must be deducted by employer. I mean if an employee has Basic Salary of Rs 1800/- + DA Rs 450/- + Other allowances Rs 2600/- (Total salary Rs 4850/-) then PF will be deducted on Rs 2250/- right or wrong ? Is deducting PF on s 2250/- as per the law or we should deduct the PF on some other minimum level ?
Tanav

Dear Mr. Sathya,
If your company has 20 or more employees, whereas 5 and more for Cinema Theaters, then you are eligible for EPF, if your basic salary exceeds 2500/- and above.

please you learn spelling for right or wrong first,..
then come to ask this things brother….
Mr MKV
if somebody doesn’t know the spelling what bothers you brother,reply if you know.just felt like saying don’t mistake me
In the first place, such a forum is nothing but nonsense. In the beginning of this page it is stated, “Every Employee in India should have an Employee Provident Fund if He / She has a salary above Rs. 6500/-. “. This means that an employee is eligible for PF only if he/she has a salary above Rs6500/-. Is this correct? Is an employee, whose salary is below Rs6500/-, not eligible for EPF?
This forum should rather be converted into one in which the replies/opinions/advices are given only by experts and questions are asked by laymen like me.
Hi…before advising someone firstly u should follow the things properly and listen to the opposite person what they need the info..if u dont know anything please keep quiet..hope you understand very clearly.
good..nicely done it…
I joined in an institution in a dialy wages basis since 3 years but I am exempted from EPF contribution. So can it be contributed from the date of joining. Please make me inform.
no need of ur good sugession only need answer
It is possible for me to open a provident fund reason is my company they don’t have this system
it is right.
Hello satish….
if your salary is more than 6500 p.m … then your employer is restricted to only 12% on amount of limit 6500 pm… so it comes 780.. so deposited amount of your employer is absolutely correct…

Hello Mr. Subhasis,
I am getting a basic salary of Rs. 11,100 every month. How much percentage my employer should contribute against my PF contribution of Rs. 1332 (i.e. 12% of Rs.11,100)
employer is bound upto only 12% of salary (minimum 6500/-), 6500*12% =780.
Hi monika,
Please clear if the person works for 10 days,what will be deduction of PF on 6500.
my question is its deduct same 780 or depends on working days.
Yes depends on working days
its right…
