How to enable/disable PF for individual employee or in bulk

Provident Fund is a scheme in which both the employer and employee make contributions to a savings fund managed by the government. The aim of this scheme is to provide financial support to employees when they retire. If an employee was not eligible for Provident Fund contribution earlier but becomes eligible after a salary revision, you can enable PF contribution for them. Similarly, if an employee chooses not to contribute to PF, the employer can disable PF for that employee.
