This query is : Resolved
One of our contractor is not paying provident fund amount of his workmen to the PF Dept as he says that his workmen are excluded employees under Para 2 (f) of the PF Scheme as they are drawing more than Rs.6500/-
He has produced case law Andhra University V/s RPFC 1985 (51) FLR 605(SC)
Our contention is he will have to pay PF contribution upto the amount of Rs.6500/- above Rs.6500/- he may not deduct and pay.
Kindly give your opinion on the above

the pf contribution need to do @12% of Rs 6500 only and not above. that what they are saying is the pay cieling but not to evade the pf contribution.
you need to approach the pf commissioner of your area, with necessary documents.
