Hi, My contribution to PF is Rs. 1100. But company’s contribution to PF is Rs. 559. Why there is such difference??

Hi,
Your entire PF contributions go to the PF account, whereas there is a limitation due to the ceiling limit of Rs 780 (Rs 6500 is the maximum limit for PF consideration). Some companies pay PF contributions on 12% of the actual basic of the employee. It is Rs 239 and Rs 541, which makes it Rs 780, and it is the contribution ratio of 8.33% to the pension fund and 3.67% to the PF fund from the employer side. Hence, the management will be making the balance of Rs 239-1100 to your pension fund, whereas your entire contribution of Rs 1100 will be in the PF fund.
Hope this clarifies it for you.
