Dear Sir,
There is a company which is not registered under the office of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. Currently, the provident fund contributions of its employees are being deposited in a Trust maintained by another company. Can the company do so, if yes, under what laws?? Is there any provision restricting the right of the company to do so??

Check whether it is an exempted fund.
If a company, being a subsidiary of another, submits a scheme more beneficial to its employees than what the PPF has to offer, the RPF, on some conditions, may exempt it from depositing PF & may have allowed the company to deposit it in the Trust.This is perfectly legal.
