    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 594/435=H)

     

    It is allowed to maintain records of PF (provident fund), the additional amount which is added in the name of interest is not interest as per Shariah and the employees are liable to take it; so it is allowed to maintain its records. In short, your employment is ok and your salary is halal.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
