Hi
There are two types of PF in general. EPF -Employees Provident Fund. This is the one which we all HR people are dealing with.
The deductions are
12% - employees
12% - employers
1.1% from employers as Admin charge.
(in some industries it is 10% for both)
Here you can contribute more but the employer is limited to 12% contribution of Rs.6500/- the employer can contribute more also. But the contribution 8.33% of 12% (employer contribution) is contributed to Pension fund.
The 0.5% is paid to Insurance fund. Here you earn interest also.
PPF - Public Provident Fund.
This is a provident fund where you pay in the post office. This earns only the interest. The similar scheme is applicable in the Defence services. Here your contribution has got no limit.

HI
Let me share with you my knowledge on P.F.
There are two kind P.F.
PF fund being managed by big MNC and Public Sector companies
having their trust created to manage the P.F. contribution deducted from employee and the company's contribution to P.F. fund. These trusts are called those who are exempted under the P.F. rules of Govt. of India. To get exemption GOI has certain guidelines and MNC or Public Sectors are suppose to apply for such exemption.
In such cases settlement of P.F. is done by the respect company.
In another case those who don't have PF trust are called un-exempted companies.
In this case the contribution deducted from employees and the company's contributions are to be paid into the SBI or whichever bank through challens and the one copy of the challan need to be submitted to Regional P.F. Authority of the respective location.
The settlement of P.F. will be done by the respective regional P.F. office and the claim need to routed through the company where he/ she was employed.

As per my knowledge the two kinds of PF are PPF and EPF.
If you are in the course of leaving the company you are working in... you just need to send a letter to the PF Department mentioning your PF account no. and informing that you have left the company. You can even ask for the payment through the previous company. This process takes approx. 2 - 3 months.
The two PFs are
PPF Private/ Personal Provident Fund
EPF Employee PF
The difference between two is that one is with the company.... where the deposits are made by the company on your behalf and another one is where you yourself open a fund. Company you are working in has no interference in it.

Hi kyat,
Yes as yuo mentioned there are two types of PF's one is RPFC- Regional Provdent fund and the other is a private trust which a company can have who has employees more than100 or 150, but as far as i know it would be difficult to maintain a trust by any companies...thats y RPFC remains the superior most in PF's in latter case, the company need to take permission from RPFC and give the entire process details to set up a separate trust to manage PFs
Hope this is the one you were asking....
Thanks,
