I am an employee having a UAN No., & my company regularly contributes EPF to my EPF number. Now I am going to join a new company; is it mandatory by my new employer to deduct and deposit EPF from my salary & contribute the employer share also to my EPF account even if my basic salary exceeds INR 15000 pm in new concern?

Since you already have a UAN and were contributing to EPF in your previous employment, your new employer should continue PF contribution by linking the same UAN. The ₹15,000 wage limit is mainly relevant for fresh employees who were never EPF members earlier. Existing EPF members generally continue as members even if salary exceeds ₹15,000. Contribution may be restricted to ₹15,000 unless employer allows contribution on higher wages. EPS/pension applicability may depend on your date of joining and wage limit, but EPF contribution should continue.
