Please clarify if the employer is liable to remit EPF in the following case :- An employee has a gross salary exceeding 6500/- (ceiling for EPF) say 10000/-p.m. He joins the company only by the last week say on 25.09.12, his salary for the month wud be only Rs. 2000/- or he receives only 2000/- for that month becoz of loss of pay…. The query is- Is the employer liable to deduct EPF from his salary for that particular month ? ( for rest of the year he wud receive more than the ceiling limit of Rs. 6500/-)

No, the salary for the month is more than Rs. 6500 but due to leave, he has received less amount. Accordingly, EPF is not applicable.
