(i)The employee limit given in the PF act, 1952 is 20 persons or more, which means and includes the number 20,

(ii) Your enterprises shall not be situated in J & K,

(iii) Your enterprise shall fall under the net of Schedule - 1 as specified,

(iv) If CG or otherwise, has mentioned your enterprises name in official gazette,

(v) You have not constituted any trust or fund to manage the aspects of PF,

(vi) Your enterprise has not fallen earlier under the PF act tax net,

(vii)SECTION 16 IS NOT APPLICABLE TO YOU.
