Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 applies to establishments where PF is applicable provided 20 or more persons are employed.
Employees drawing a basic salary up to Rs 6500/- have to compulsory contribute to the Provident fund, and employees drawing above Rs 6501/- have an option to become a member of the Provident Fund. They can opt for Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF), with a maximum contribution of 100% of basic salary.
It is mandatory for employees completing 10 years of service to opt for the Pension. An employee completing 10 years of service cannot withdraw the entire PF (employer and employee's contribution). They are allowed to withdraw their contribution of 12% and the Employer's contribution of 3.67% to PF. The balance amount, i.e., the Employer's contribution amounting to 8.33%, will be paid by way of a pension.

Dear Kripal,
When applicable for PF, please send all points.
If the employee strength of your organization, including branch offices, exceeds 20, then your organization is to be registered under the PF Scheme.
When an employee's salary is between 10,000 to 25,000 INR, then will PF be deducted or not?
If the above salary is Basic + DA, then the employee can be exempted from PF, or their PF can be deducted on Rs. 6,500 (PF limit), or their PF can be deducted on the whole Basic + DA.
When an employee's salary is between 3,000 to 6,500, will PF be deducted or not?
If the employee's Basic + DA is as mentioned above, then PF is compulsorily deducted on the whole Basic + DA. Here, you need to check if the Basic + DA aligns with the minimum wages of your state.
How to deduct PF for our employees?
PF is deducted on Basic + DA.
For example: Basic + DA = 6,500
Employee PF contribution: 12% of 6,500 = Rs. 780 (This will be deducted from their salary)
Employer PF Contribution: 12% of 6,500 + 1.61% = 13.61%
12% is further divided as:
- 8.33% of 6,500 towards the Pension Scheme and 3.67% towards PF
- 0.5% towards EDLI (Employee Deposit Linked Insurance) Scheme
- Administrative charges of 1.10% towards EPF and 0.01% towards EDLIS.
Total: 13.61%
Where is the PF deducted from the employee?
