This depends on your policy.But you should apply uniform policy to every cases where basic is above Rs 6500/-pm. Varghese Mathew

Where the employee has a starting salary of more than Rs. 6500 (Basic + DA) and he wants to continue to have a PF account, he is entitled to do so under the law. Under the law, you are required to deduct and pay PF at 12% on the actual salary or Rs. 6500 whichever lower. Therefore, in this case, you are required to deduct @ 12% of Rs. 6500 and contribute same amount from your side. However, the employee can opt for a higher deduction. You are not required to match the same amount as employer contribution.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Hello Mr banerjee,
I have a query ,
Is it mandatory to deduct the PF @ 12 % on actual salary or on Rs 6500 whichever is less. Because my actual basic pay is more than 6500 and 12% of deduction is happening on actaul basic pay itself.
pls update.
thanks
