Dear Seniors, There are some employees in our office who want to increase their PF contribution by more than 12% (employee share). Please let tell me that is it feasible if yes then what is the process for it and will the employer also have to increase his contribution??
Thank You

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
