Employees Provident Fund (Third Amendment) Scheme, 2008


Background

Government notification amending the existing Employees Provident Fund Scheme, 1952.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment by way of special notification has amended the Employees Provident
Fund Scheme, 1952 and Employees Pension Scheme, 1995.The notification has broadened the ambit of both the
schemes to include specific category of Indian employees working outside India and employees other than Indian
employees, holding other than Indian Passport, working for an establishment in India. The notification was
published in the Official Gazette dated October 1, 2008 and becomes effective from that date.

Salient features of the Provident Fund (Third Amendment) Scheme,


2008 (Amended PF Scheme)
A new category of International Worker has been introduced, which is defined as:
- An Indian employee having worked or going to work in a foreign country with which India has a Social
Security Agreement and being eligible to avail the benefits under a social security programme of that country,
by virtue of the eligibility gained or going to gain, under the said agreement;
- An employee, other than an Indian employee, holding other than an Indian passport and working for an
establishment in India to which the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (PF
Act) applies.

In relation to the International Worker, the term Excluded Employee has been defined to mean an
International Worker who is contributing to a social security programme of his / her country of origin, either
as a citizen or as a resident, with which India has entered into a Social Security Agreement on reciprocity
basis and enjoying the status of detached worker for the period and terms, as specified in such an agreement.
Under the provisions of the Amended PF Scheme, every International Worker employed with an
establishment in India to whom the PF Act applies, would be required to become a member of the Provident
Fund, unless he/she qualifies as an Excluded Employee.
Employers would be required to file a consolidated return with respect to the International Workers within
15 days of the commencement of the Amended PF Scheme, specifying the International Workers entitled to
become members of the fund. Separately, the employer would also be required to file monthly returns with
the Provident Fund Commissioner.

THRESHOLD of the Scheme


The Scheme mandatorily covers only those employees whose monthly wages does not exceeds Rs. 6500/-.
However with respect to International workers, such threshold limits on monthly wages does not apply.ccc

Even if the monthly salary of an international worker exceeds Rs. 6500/-, the international worker would
be covered under the scheme, provided such employee is not deemed as an excluded employee.

This amendment may also entail various countries looking to enter into Social Security Agreements with
India, especially since such an amendment triggers contribution to provident fund for expatriates working
in India, thereby resulting in an increase in the expatriate related costs.
