Dear All,
Hi! everybody
I too, would like to clarify few of the points related to PF:-
1)For those employees whose basic salary is more than Rs 6500, few companies state way extempt them from PF, what should be the legal way of the same. Though he would have opt for PF but he is now not getting the same.
2) Secondly , now any employees whose basic is more than Rs 6500, (for instance Rs 10000) what should be his deduction. Please find below the deduction and state which is correct--
Basic -- Rs 10000
A) PF deducted from the employee:- Rs 1200/-
PF deducted from the employer:- Rs 1200/-of which Rs 541 would go to pension and the remaining to his account (1200-541)
OR
A) PF deducted from the employee:- Rs 780/-
PF deducted from the employer:- Rs 780/-
Please clarify.
3) As per the act what I know is that 1.61% of the PF charges is to be borne by the employer. Should the same % be taken into account while calculating the CTC or not .
4) If any employee whose basic is above Rs 6500/- is there any legal binding that the company will deduct only Rs 780/- from his salary as Pf deduction and not the original binding.
Please do reply soon,

There is nothing in the Act which says that the employer SHOULD restrict contributions on Rs 6500 but it is optional for the employer. If he is willing to contribute on a higher salary, he can do so. However, the Pension Fund contribution of 8.33% shall be calculated on a maximum salary of Rs 6500. That means if the employer is contributing Rs 1200 (12% of Rs 10000) then he can remit Rs 541 in Pension fund and the balance, Rs 659 shall be remitted in Provident fund along with the employee's share of Rs 1200.
Regarding coverage, it is mandatory that every person whose salary at the time of joining is not more than Rs 6500 should be covered. That means, if the salary of the employee at the time of his joining is more than Rs 6500 is he may be excluded, provided he has never been a member of the PF or if he had withdrawn his PF benefits or is receiving PF Pension. Here also, the company policy with regard to this social security cover is important and that if the employer is ready to extend the cover to all irrespective of salary, he can do so. An employee once covered by the Act will continue to be covered irrespective of any increase in his salary.
1.16% is the share of the Government towards Pension fund of the member.

Dear Daya,
Greetings for the day,
Madhu is right that there is no hard and fast rule to ristrict the epf on Rs.
6500/-, Rs. 6500/- is the cealing for EPS/EDLI not for EPF. EPF deduction should be done on basic+da/vda+food conc.(if any).
thanks & regards,

Mr. Madhu mentioned in last para as 1.16 % is the share of the govt. Pension fund. Its wrong, i think it is typical error. 1.61 % is correct. Dharani dharan V Manager HR Unipel Logistics
