If at all employee is covered under EPF then both EE & ER contribution (12% of EE share + 12% of ER share = 24%) shall be paid as EPF only and EPS is not applicable to them.

Dear Yashavant,
Sh Jeevarathnam has rightly advised you that if you have been covered under EPF scheme with your earliar employer, you have no choice but you will be automatically covered under EPF Act with your new employe.
In the process if the wages are increased above the ceiling limit of Rs. 15000/- then the employee and employer contributions will be restricted to monthly wages of Rs. 15000/- only.
If you have withdrawn your PF accumulations while not in any employment and join new company with salary above Rs 15000/- then you will be exempt from coverage under EPF Act.

good Morning
With a basic salary of 100,000 plus allowances EPF contribution by the employer shall be 12% i,e Rs12000 & the employee contribution Rs 12000/.My point is that is there any limit on the employer for max, epf contribution on their part or the employer is bound to pay 12 % towards epf contribution on basic plus DA even if the basic pay goes much higher say above 2 lacs per month.
Please enlighten on this & any limits under EPF rules if any on the max epf amount contribution by employer.
thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards

Dear Yash,
1) If the employee was already covered under PF and in the new organization joins on a salary higher than the PF ceiling then he can 'technically' be excluded but it will require employee go give a 'false declaration' under Form 11. So the short answer is Yes.
2) If the employee was not covered under PF in his previous employment and joins your organization on a salary above 15,000 then he can give a declaration under Form 11 and he can be exempted. Hence the answer is Yes. In this case however there is no false declaration by the employee
Hope this helps
