Dear Paras,
Employee 12%
Employer 13.61%
Contribution:
3.67% = Provident Fund (A/c No.1)
8.33% = Pension Fund (A/c No.10)
0.5% = EDLIS -Employees Direct Linked Insurance Scheme (A/c No.21)
Administrative Charges:
1.10% of emoluments = Provident Fund (A/c No.2)
0.01% of emoluments = EDLIS (A/c No.22)
Total 25.61%

The EPF scheme was originally envisaged as a savings plan which would be useful for the workforce at the time of their retirement period, since there was no other facility like postal savings, LIC or Banking, were existing at that time and most of the employees were not educated to keep savings. It was thought that out of one year's earnings one should provide a month's wages as savings for his old age (i.e., 8.33 %) Then the percentage was subsequently increased to 12 % in stages. Various ILO conventions have also influenced in this regard. Full details can be understood on reading Trade Union movement in pre-independence period and the preambles of various welfare oriented acts enacted at that time.
