Dear Reddy,

For a simple question, you attached a file! However, I shall provide the answer. Pension contribution is calculated based on the ceiling salary of R. 6500 on a pro-rata basis. Therefore, the salary for 20 days would be 6500 x 20/31 = 4194 and the pension contribution would amount to 4194 x 8.33% = 349.

Dear Abbas,

Thank you for your clarification. In the attachment, the earned basic for 20 days is Rs. 9678/-. In this case, what should be the considerable pension salary: Rs. 6500/- or Rs. 4194/-?

Thanks & Regards,

From my above posting it is clear that ceiling salary for one month is Rs. 6500 and for 20 days it is Rs. 4194. Accordingly the contributions will be deducted / credited. Abbas.P.S

How will this be implemented? If the ceiling salary for pension is Rs. 6500, it means that for 30 or 31 days, it will be considered as 6500. Accordingly, for fewer days, the calculation will be done on a pro-rata basis. Therefore, Case B is correct.

Case B is not correct. Case A is correct because he has drawn the salary of Rs. 9678 for 20 days, and EPF has to be paid at 12%, and EPS has to be paid at 8.33% on Rs 6500/-. The Rs 6500/- cannot be proportioned for 20 days.
