Dear,
Any EPF member who is registered under your establishment can apply for increase of employee share more than 12% as VPF. EPF member can opt VPFto increase contribution by extra 12%, 24%, 36% or any fixed amount. EPF member can contribute 100% of his basic salary + DA. You should have to designed a format as declaration by EPF member & submit it to RPFC Office.
Employer share remain same i.e. 12% . Employer will not contribute any excess amount.

The RPFC will not entertain such forms. Also there is no prescribed format for higher contribution. Therefore, if the employee(s) wish to contribute at a higher rate than 12%, you can get a consent letter authorising your Personnel Officer to deduct PF from the salary accordingly and remit the same along with the other contributions. There is no need to submit any declaration or consent letter to the EPFO. Even the consent letter mentioned above is only to safeguard our own interests that tomorrow the employee should not say that he did not ask for higher contribution but the Personnel Manager/ HR Manager/ employer only did it without his permission. A specimen of such an application/ consent is attached for your reference.

Any higher contribution can be stopped at any point of time on getting instruction from the employee.

You cannot opt-out of or withdraw from a VPF scheme in the middle of the year. You can contribute 100% of basic plus dearness allowance (DA) as an investment in VPF. If the VPF money withdrawal takes place within five years, you need to pay tax on the interest amount earned from your contribution towards the VPF.

You can choose to start, stop, increase or decrease your VPF contributions every month. However, some employers/companies provide a window to make these changes only at the beginning of the financial year. So, you need to check with your employer/company
