I do not agree with the above view, and the PF Act never permits the recovery of the Employer's Contribution from any employee. Moreover, it is statutory to deposit matching employer's contribution along with the Employee's Contribution, which is to be recovered from the employee's salary at a specified rate of 12%.

Additionally, it is important to note that the employer is required to contribute Rs. 541/- per month towards EPS Contribution, calculated at 8.33% on Rs. 6500/- out of the 12% employer's contribution.

Hi,

I inquired with the PF office, and they confirmed that it is illegal. They asked for the submission of documents and a letter to the commissioner in hard copy to take action.

Thanks a lot, everyone, for your help!
