Provident Fund once covered will continue irrespective of any hike in salary above the ceiling limit prescribed under the Act. Therefore, if salary of a member becomes, Rs 10000, still, he is a covered member. If the employer thinks that contributions be limited to Rs 6500, he can do so. On the other hand, if the employer is ready to contribute for such higher salary then he can deduct PF for such higher salary and contribute on such salary. Only thing is that while employer making his contributions, Pension Fund contribution shall be limited to 8.33% of Rs 6500 only.

In continuation to the above query / solution, what should be the done in case, where the employee wants to do his contribution on the increased basice (i.e. Rs. 10000/-) but the employer wants the contribution to be made at Rs. 6500/- (to cut on cost).

since He is a member already, he has to continue with contribution of the same % on 6500/- or he can contribute more but the company contribution is restricted to 12% on 6500/-. IN no way he is to be excluded when he become a member of pf and exceeds the salary limit prescribed by pf act.
In case a member drawing more than 6501 per month (basic) at the time of joining, he may be excluded from pf contribution,provided he should not be a pf member in his previous employment. In such case you have to get a letter from him in writing that he dont want to be pf member as he is drawing more than the presecribed limit.

Dear Swati,
I guess what you are asking is related to VPF. The VPF (Voluntary PF) option is open to all the employees. An employee can contribute to the PF Fund by VPF of an amount of his choice.
I hope this resolves your querry.

Dear Pawankumar,
I believe most of the companies have ctc (Cost to Company) salary structure which includes both side (employee and employer) PF contribution therefore i dont think that employer have any problem on contributing at higher basic as it is not going to increase any cost for employer.

can u all pls make it clear by showing a calculation of the contribution to PF. I knew that the employee can contribute any 12% on his basic even though his basic is more than prescribed limit but the employer can contribute only 12% of 6500/-. If the basic is more still the employer contributes upto 12% of 6500/-. Pls correct me if i m wrong
