No.
New employee joining with basic salary of 15000 or more only can be exempted from EPF.
Thank you.

HI,
Please note, once you have made contribution to the PF for any employee them he/she is life time member of provident fund. You cannot remove their names even after changing salary structure. Yes, you can keep basic above 15,000 for the employee joining your organisation and they may be exempted from PF.
