Hello, I have a query about what happens to the quantum of employer’s contribution when the employee’s salary exceeds 15,000? And please quote references also.

Simple, If any employee crosses 15000/- basic salary then 15000*12%=1800 15000*8.33%=1250 15000*3.67%=550.

Thanks Meera. Can you post any reference? As I’m seeing in para 29 EPF scheme. It says minimum mandatory contribution by employer is 10% or 12% of basic + DA + RA. I’m a little confused.

OK I found it. It’s proviso to para 26A (2).

Even if the wage exceeds Rs. 15,000/- per month, the employer's contribution can be limited to Rs. 15,000/- while the employee has the option to contribute based on a higher wage, with the approval of the PF authority.

Dear Manish,

In your case, the management is willing to pay the contributions for the higher amount that the employee received; they have to pay the full contribution. If the management is not willing to pay a higher contribution, they will pay 13% towards the employer contribution for Rs. 15,000/- only.
