08 November 2014 If a person drawing salary of Rs.18500 and basic salary Rs. 6500/- he is also covered under PF since the basis is less than Rs.15000

08 November 2014 If a person is drawing salary Rs18500/- & his basic is 6500 & is a PF member from last 1 year, In this case should we continue him with pf facility on 6500*12% or can we opt him out of pf.

11 November 2014 A person who was not a PF member earlier, from last 1 yr we are showing his basic as a 12250, Washing Allowance 250 (Total Gross Salary 12500/- p.m)

Now as per new rule we have to cover him under PF, can we decrease his basic to Rs. 6500/- and deduct PF on that amt?
