07 March 2012 Hello everyone,

I have a query related to PF deduction on existing members. Salary limit for PF deduction is Rs 6500/-. So when a company employs a new candidate with a salary of 7000/-, whether PF need to deducted on same taking salary as 6500/-? The new candidate is already registered with PF department and has been contributing towards PF during his last employment.

Thanks
