There’s a blue-collared labourer recruited for Rs.16000. He does not want to go for PF. Is that possible since 16000 is the gross salary (minimum wages is 12371 for my company’s state)

Whether he was working earlier? whether he had EPF account (UAN Number) earlier? If yes then EPF is Mandatory else you may consider for exclusion

Hi, No, he’s a new employee. So PF 15000 exemption can be on gross and not basic then right?

Yes, the foreign company can hire directly in India. It must either establish a legal entity in the country or work through a third-party provider to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

You cannot consider gross salary for excluding an employee and Basic salary (plus DA, if available) for contribution and coverage. If the gross pay is Rs 16,000 and out of it an amount of Rs 1,000 is HRA, then his PF qualifying salary will come to Rs 15,000. In such a scenario, he should be covered by EPF without fail. The employee cannot refuse to accept it because the law is for all the people of India and not for a particular person.
