dear Experts,

this regarding age limit for an employee working in an organisation. we have an employee with age 60years working for our organisation. recently he asked our managemnt to provide ESI voluntarily, and his salary is lessthan 15000 rupees. as per ESIC act he is eligible for ESI Facility. but our organisdation feels that he is senior citizen, so he shouldn't be employed as per law. my query is, is there any age limit in private sector? does it becomes wrong if we deploy senior citizen in work? please suggest me........

ESI act is silent about ESI facility, so there is no age limit. However, He is more than 58 years is covered under EPF Act but not in pension scheme. Both EPF contribution should accounted in PF A/c not in Pension account.
