To start editing the PF settings, navigate to Payroll (1)>> Settings (2). 

In the Pay Groups tab (3), you will see the various pay groups that you have configured on Keka. 

Select the pay group and click on the Configure icon (4).  

On the Pay Group Configuration window, select the Contributions tab (5). Here you can see the various settings in brief. Click on the three dots (6) on this window and from the drop-down, select Update PF Settings (7).

In the Provident Fund (PF) Settings window, there are some important options to focus on.  

On the top of the window, you can toggle PF on or off using the toggle button. This will enable or disable PF for the pay group.
