Epf option

normaly the option is to be selected well before the 1st salary receipt, 

However there is no bar to join on a later date, but the employee has to make  request to employer in writing that  he  wish to contribute in EPF, and also an undertaking that if department ask to pay the contribution of arrears, then he will allow the employer to deduct the same and deposit with EPFO

( normally EPF does not ask to make the contrubution deposit of prior periods,  but often its found that employees furnish misdeclaration that employer insisted not to opt for) 

Dear US Sharma

in case of arrears employee needs to give declaration to authorise employer to deduct arrears from salary.

but will this deduction of arrears be in regard to employee contribution only or employer contribution only or both?

regards

Normal way, the employess drawing salary  exceeding Rs. 15000 are not covered, 

its between employee and employer relations to mutually agreed upon the contributions payable. 

have clearly menationed that EPFO does not insist for arrears, unless they they  get information that there is employement from back date,
