Hello,
i have a question,
my employer deducts 12% of my basic for PF. Does this new amendment imply that now i can ask my employer to deduct it at a ceiling of 6500 and not my total basic. actually, my basic is very high and hence the deduction comes out to be high and in order to have cash flow, i would like to reduce the deduction.
Any idea?
Thanks

If you reduce your contribution as per ceiling your savings will also reduce. If you contribute 12 % of your whole basic your employer also contributes 12%
e.g. if your basic is Rs. 20,000 then your PF contribution will be;

Hi Vineeta,
Your employer is deducting your PF 12 % is good and equal amount will be credited to your PF account which will be a part of your saving in future. If you are insist as PF deductions as per ceiling then you will be looser. Some well organized sectors does not follow the wage ceiling and liberally they contribute equivalent contribution of PF of their employees. I do not agree that you ask your employer t o deduct your PF as per wage ceiling . I too agree with Mr. Suhas Kambe.
