Very informative. But to my knowledge even an employee who newly joins in a company with the basic pay of above Rs 6500/-, companies are compulsorily deducting PF. No option for an employee to decide whether he can be member or non-member for PF.
My Basic is above Rs 6500/- (I worked with various MNC companies) but none of the employer has given me a option to avail PF or not.
