Dear BJ,

I have to add one more thing. In provision 6, it is clearly stated that the contribution is on "the basic wages, dearness allowance, and retaining allowance, if any." The attached file with your posting is not regarding contribution but basic wages. It is a fact that DA is not included in basic wages as stated in the above attachment because they are different components. However, for the contribution to EPF, both basic wages and DA will be taken into account.

Dear All,

I have a query regarding the PF. If an employee's salary exceeds Rs. 15000 and they opt for voluntary contribution, should PF be deducted and contributed up to Rs. 15000 only or on the whole amount?

Regards,

Dear BJ, If employee and employer wish, both of them can pay at higher salary. If employee only opts, member’s contribution can be at higher salary. Abbas.P.S
