Dear Rajendra
Under the provisions of Employees' Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, any establishment employing 20 or more employees is coverable.
Now the question comes that no employee is drawing Rs. 6,500/- or less than as basic and all the employees are excluded employees. For the purpose of coverage of an establishment the Provident Fund Authority count number of employees whether they are included or excluded employees. In this situation your establishment/ company is coverable under the provisions of the Act. But it is mandatory for your establishment to pay the minimum charges Rs. 5/- under Account No. 2, and Rs. 2/- under Account No. 22.
Thanks & Regards
