Dear All,
Please answer my queries as i've been asked the same in interviews but don't have a sure answer for the same:
- What is the maximum voluntary Employee's contribution for PF ? And is it that one has to specify this voluntary contribution at the time of joining or can avail it any time ? and is there any procedure for it ?
- What is the maximum Employer's contribution ? Is it 12% of actual basic or can it go beyond that , and if so what would be the extent ?
Thanks & Regards,
Jeene

Dear Jeene,
An employee can contribute more than 12% of his share to the PF. The employee contribution more than 12% of his Basic+DA+RA is called as voluntary contribution to the PF. The employee can contribute up to 100% of his Basic+DA+RA.
An employee can contribute to VPF at any time of his service not necessarily at the time of joining.
An employers contribution is 12% of actual Basic+DA+RA or Rs.6500 (maximum limit of Basic+DA+RA) whichever is less.

Voluantary Provident Fund: You contribute more towards your PF, over and above the 12% mandated by the government. This additional voluntary contribution enjoys all the benefits of PF, except that the company doesn’t contribute an equal amount. But still, the interest rate is equal to the rate of interest for PF, and the withdrawal on retirement is tax-free. VPF can be a good option if you are very risk averse and want a safe option like PF. Please note that the maximum contribution allowed towards VPF is 100% of your basic + dearness allowance (DA).

Dear Jeene,
If an employee is interested in contributing more PF amount above 12% he has to take underwriting from the employer and submit request jointly to the office not below the rank of Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner.
Not many employers are interested in employees contributing excess amount of PF because they have to pay administration charges and EDLIS on percentage par with employee's contribution to the PF.
