Dear ashok,
If any employee in your organisation, earned basic salary less then 6500 PM then you have to deduct EPF @ 12.00 % from his salary and your company have to contribute 13.61 % on his salary.
But if basic salary more then 6500 PM then its not compulsory to deduct EPF but employee can wish to deduct then you have to deducted and also do the contribution on his salary.

If a NEW employee, drawing a pf qualifying wage ( Basic+DA) of more than Rs.6500/- he need not be covered under the scheme and he is called an exempted employee.
But If an employee is enrolled as a PF member when his PF qualifying wage was lesser than or equal to Rs.6500/ and subsequently his salary is increased to more than 6500, then he should be continued to be a member.
The act or the PF authority will not object if the management wants to cover all the employees under the scheme irrespective of their salary.
The Act or the PF authority will not object if the management wants to contribute PF contribution for all the employees up to Rs.6500/- , even if they draw more than 6500/-
For the above special cases we may have to get some declaration/ application as applicable.

Dear Rakesh,
Take 1 example as below.
Suppose Mr.A Working in a company wid basic salary of Rs.6000 at the time of joining. So, company have to deduct PF and contribute the same because his salary less then 6500. After 1 year his salary increase and comes to Rs. 8000. in that case employer is liable to deduct PF and contribute because he is already in PF at the time of joining.So, It's not possible to stop to deduct PF from his salary untill and unless he is resign from his job. But there is a one option open for them. Employer can deduct PF only on Amount of Rs. 6500 if employee agree for dat otherwise employer deduct PF on whole salary i.e- Rs. 8500.
Now Suppose Mr.A Working in a company wid basic salary of Rs.8000 at the time of joining, In dat case if employee is agree for PF deduction then company have to deducted pf on 6500 or whole amount of Rs.8000, it's up to both the party.And employee do not want to deduct PF then it's not compulsory to deduct PF on his salary b'coz his salary is more then 6500.
I hope from u can understand from the above example.
