As per EPF Act, “employee” means any person who is employed for wages in any kind of work, manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of an establishment and who gets his wages directly or indirectly from the employer, and includes any person:
(i) employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the establishment;
(ii) engaged as an apprentice, not being an apprentice engaged under the Apprentices Act, 1961 (52 of 1961) or under the standing orders of the establishment.
Hence he shall be included for the purpose of PF I think.
I think....Consultancy charges need not attrect the provision of PF....
CA appointed as a consultant doesnt fall under the defination of "employee". Hence pf provision is not required in my opinion.

Sorry, typo, he shall NOT be included for the purpose of PF
Thanks all experts for it kind reply.....
Dear experts
Any answer tell with confidance
U say in my opinion this is not correct
There is no employer and employee relationship,it is only a contract between two principles,as the chartered accountant is holding a COP,hence PF act is not applicable to him.
