PF IS CALCULATED 12 % ON BASIC + DA. THERE IS NO COMPULSION IF BASIC + DA IS MORE THAN 6500. BUT IF STILL PF IS DEDUCTED THAN THE PENSION PART I.E. PENSION WILL BE CALCULATED ONLY ON 6500 AND REMAINING AMOUNT GOES TO PROVIDENT FUND PART.
E.G. IF BASIC IS 10000
THAN PF WILL BE 1200
PENSION PART( EMPLOYER'S SHARE) WILL ONLY BE 541
REMAINING PART OF PF(EMPLOYER'S SHARE) WILL GO TO PROVIDENT FUND.
NOTE: 12 % OF EMPLOYEE

Hi,
The normal practice is of calculating PF as 12% of basic. However, this is only the employers contribution. Another 12% is deducted as Employees contribution. So total is 24%.
As far as I know, there is no maximum limit . e.g. If an employee has Rs. 50000/ basic Salary p.m. then 12% comes to Rs. 6000. Hence the total amount deducted would be Rs. 12000/
Thanks and Regards,
Karan

The employee can have maximum 100% PF deductible salary (i.e Basic Salary + DA) deduction towards Voluntary Provident Fund.
This 100% includes the 12% compulsory contribution from employee towards PF (i.e. 100% - 12% - 88%)

In case the employees PF deductible salary is Rs.1000
The PF contribution would be as under:
A: By the Employer: 12% = Rs.120
B: From the Employee: 12% (which is compulsory) = Rs.120.
In case the employee so desires she/he can apply for 100% salary deduction towards PF. This extra contribution is called Voluntary Provident Fund which is subject to a maximum of 100% of the PF deductible salary of the employee less compulsory deduction i.e. 100% - 12% (compulsory PF) = 88% towards VPF = Rs.880
The option of applying for VPF (Voluntary Provident Fund) rests with teh employee and she/ he can decide whether or not they want to utilise this option, and if yes then up to what percentage.
VPF is usually preferred by employees as it is taken as an Investment under Setcion 80C of Income Tax.
