Dear Sir/Madam,

My question is related to PF contributions. If an employee's basic pay is:

Basic pay - 34,000
Then PF contributions to the employee's side is 12% = 4,080
And employer contribution is divided into two parts: EPF 8.33% and PF 3.67%.
Total employer-side contribution = 12%. These two parts of employer-side contributions, I cannot understand. Please explain to me in detail where employer contribution money is deducted.

Thanks,

PF contribution made by employees is 12% of basic salary; the entire amount goes to the employees' PF account. On the other hand, the PF contribution made by the employer is also 12%, where 8.33% is allocated to the Employee Pension Fund and the remaining 3.67% goes to the PF account. Therefore, both the employee and the employer contribute 12% each.

I hope this explanation clarifies the contribution details for you.

Thank you,

1. PF contribution made by employees:
12% of basic, the entire amount goes to employees' PF ACCOUNT.

2. PF contribution made by employer:
12% i.e., 8.33% goes to Employee Pension Fund and the remaining 3.67% goes to the PF account.

So, employee and employer contribute 12% each. Hope you understand.

It should be noted that 8.33% towards EPS is subject to the ceiling of only Rs. 540/-. For employees whose basic+DA is more than 6500, the contribution made by the employer directly goes to the employees' PF account other than the mandatory Rs. 540/- to EPS.

Dear Anjna,

ESI is a contribution made for employee sickness, accidents, maternity, etc. The employer's contribution is 4.75% of the Gross Salary, and the employee's contribution is 1.75% of the Gross Salary. For a company or organization to be eligible for ESI, the employee strength must be at least 20. The ceiling is 15000/-, which means if any employee is drawing more than 15k, then it is not mandatory for that particular employee to be part of ESI.

Hope you understood!!!!

Hi, Recently I have submitted Form 19 and Form 10 for withdrawal for PF account. I received an amount of Rs. 3.8 lakh towards Form 10. How much would be the remaining amount that I would receive towards Form 19?
