08 October 2013 Hi,

For PF:

If an Employer has equal to or more than 20 employees, it is mandatory for him or to join the Employee Provident Fund Scheme.

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, 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.

Rate of contribution payable by a member shall be @ 12% of his emoluments.
