PF for workers having very low earnings
There should be a rule for employers to remit only their share in respect of workers with earnings less than a threshold limit like 2,000 or so. It would improve compliance. Low wage earners do not want deduction from their earnings since even 12 % is too high an amount to lose for them from their earnings. more

Its very foolish to ask such querry. Minimum wages nowards for unskilled labour is above Rs. 6000/-, how you could assume workers are earning lower wages. Please do not post such foolish questions. more

This kind of fascist thinking is quite unbecoming of a democratic set up like ours.If the employee is not willing for PF contribution,then it should be waived irrespective of lower or upper limits. more

I fail to understand how will such low income & consequently low PF deduction occur & remain undetected at the PF office. It seems the PF office is not allowed to take cognizance of the MINIMUM WAGES ACT. In fact their minimum cut off should be fixed automatically by this ACT. The right arm does not know what the left arm is doing. Strange! more
