Dear Team HR,
Greetings of the day.
For Voluntary deduction, Employer will pay only 12% which include Pension Fund-8.33 % and Contribution: 3.67 %
Other charges like admin EDLI and inspection charges will be calculated on the basic of Rs 65oo/- This is the maximum basic. For Employee the deduction will be 12% on the basic and the @5 that is more than normal contribution to be treated as Voluntary deduction of PF and calculated separately and put in the voluntary deduction column.
Thanks and warm regards,

There is no separate challan for voluntary PF contribution, but the same challan can be used. The number of employees contributing higher percentage is shown in the returns (12A).
It is not compulsory that against the employee who contributes at a higher percentage the employer SHOULD NOT contribute at the same higher percentage but if the employer is willing to contribute a higher percentage than 12% he can certainly do so.

Dear HR Team members,
I do agrre with the statement of Ms. Madhu T.K that there is no separate challan for voluntary PF contribution & number of employees contributing higher percentage should reflect in the returns (12A).
Futher, please note that as per PF Act, the member has to contribute at the rate of 10% or 12% of his basic pay, D.A. & retaining allowance if any. In case the member wants to contribute more than this, voluntarily he can do so at any rate he desires. i.e. upto 100% of basic and D.A. But the employer is not bound to contribute at the enhanced rate.

In the challan you can take the total of actual contributions deducted and not the percentage of qualifying salary. If the challan is system generated, you have to program it accordingly.
Any voluntary contribution should be reflected in Provident Fund (A/C No 1) restricting Rs 541 (8.33% of Rs 6500) to Pension Fund (A/C. No 10)
