Hi,
Their is 2 scenario;
1st scenario
= Limited PF Contribution
- If basic salary is more than 6500 then 12% of 6500
- If basic salary is less than 6500 then, whatever the basic salary that X 12 %
2nd scenario
= Unlimited PF Contribution
- Whatever the Basic Salary x 12%
Example;
Limited PF Contribution
Basic
10000 > (6500 x 12%) = 780
6000 < (6000 x 12%) = 720
Unlimited PF Contribution
Basic
10000 x 12% = 1200
6000 x 12% = 720
Example;
{Basic Salary 10500}
Calculation;
Limited PF Contribution
Gross Salary 35,000
- PT 200
- PF (6500x12%) 780
-------
Net Pay 34,020
Unlimited PF Contribution
Gross Salary 35,000
- PT 200
- PF (10500x12%) 1260

Employer may decide to pay contribution on above the ceiling limit of Rs.6500/-
But as per my knowlege this extra amount incurred by the employer will not be taken as expenses for income tax purpose. Is this right ?

Dear Folks,
PF Ceiling is limited to minimum of 6500 as per the PF rules max depends on the employers.
But some companies limit the ceiling of both employers as well as employees to 6500. Some companies limit Employees share for the entire basic & employers share for 6500. Some companies bare both employees as well as employers share for the full amount of the basic.
Various employers are having their own practice.

Dear Raj Kumar,
Most progressive and "employee care" oriented Companies follow the practice that your organization is following. It is healthy practice and you should continue with this very good HR initiative.

As per law, employer is not statutorily bound to enrol an employee as memebr of EPF Scheme 1952 if his starting salary is more thenRs 6500/-. Such employees are referred to as excluded employees. However, if such an employee is enrolled as member, then it is up to the employer to restrict their share to 12% of Rs 6500/-. The employer can not be made to contribute on any higher wages. However, many employers out of their own sweet will do indeed contribute their share on actual wages irrespective of limit.
