HI Venu If any employee becomes member of PF then there is no any provision to stop his/her PF contributions even if the wages exceeds 6500/-. But the same shall be restricted till 6500/-

hi venu,
as per the definition in Section 2(f)(ii) of The Employees Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, an employee, "who is otherwise entitled to become a member of the Fund, becomes an "Excluded Employee", when his basic salary [wage]+DA exceeds Rs. 6,500/
so, for the purpose of earning interest on his earlier PF accumulation and for pension puposes, he may still continue to be a member of the Fund , but , going by the definition, you need not deduct or contribute PF in respect of his salary
i saw recently a similar view expressed in the web site of the Keala EPFO

Dear Venu,
An employee can be treated as an excluded employee only on the following circumstances: -
(a) He was a member and withdrawn the entire amount from the fund either on superannuation or on migration to foreign country,
(b) At the time of becoming a member for the first time when his wage is more than Rs. 6500/- per month and
(c) An apprentice as per the certified standing orders.
Other than the above clause, you cannot term any body as excluded employee as per the act in force. I am enclosing the extract of EPF & MP Act 1952 as regards to excluded employee for the benefit of all readers.
