Rs.6500/- by the employer and the employee.
If the employee wants to contribute more, he has to apply for permission from the Provident Fund Office. However, the employer can restrict his contribution to the threshold limit of Rs.6500/-.

I think that you have not understood the point.
1. All employees having basic pay + DA of Rs.6500/- are covered by the EPF Act.
2. If an old employee, crosses the threshold level of Rs.6500/-, his and his employer's contribution will be restricted to the threshold level of Rs.6500/-.
3. If a new employee with a basic + DA of more than Rs.6500/-, it is not mandatory for him or the employer to subscribe to EPF. However with the approval of the PF Commissioner, he can be enrolled. In this case, the employer's contribution is nil.
4. If an existing EPF Subscriber employee crosses the threshold level of Rs.6500/- he and the employer should continue to pay the contribution restricted to Rs.6500/-, the maximum threshold level.
I trust that this clears your doubts.

Dear Krishna Sir,
As you said in the 3rd Point of the new employee contribution not mandatory if his basic + D.A crosses Rs.6500 ceiling limit. I guess as per the PF act 1957 any organization employing 20 and above employees have to compulsorily take the PF coverage irrespective of their Basic + DA pay. If in case the employee earning more than 6500/- PM as his basic +DA can contribute more where as the employer can restrict his contribution to the Max ceiling limit.
