We will be paying salary of 15000 to an employee. We only have 3 employees and have registered under presumptive taxation scheme. Is EPF contribution mandatory in this case? I've read somewhere that EPF contribution is to be 10% in case of basic pay below 15k for companies with less than 20 employees. Is this mandatory or voluntary?
