Dear Priyesh,
It is not possible to contribute less than 12% from each. Further, employer must borne the admin charges of 1.61% also. As per EPF&MP Act, 1952 the rate of contribution is 10% only in some cases of (i) Less than 20 employees. (ii) Sick Industries declared as per the Act. (iii) Company which has accumulated loss at the end of the financial year. (iv) Manufacturers of Jute, Beedi and Brick etc.,

Dear Priyesh In case the Est is not covered under EPF Act 1952 or the Employees are excluded than their PF contribution may be at a lesser rate. Why an employee would choose to reduce his benefits?
