Dear Seniors,

Kindly suggest to me on the below-mentioned issue. I'm deducting PF on basic 6500 as per the government ceiling. If the basic is higher than 6500, can I mention the same basic and deduct PF for 6500 only, i.e., 780, irrespective of the actual basic amount? For example, if the basic is 10000 but PF is deducted for 6500, i.e., 780. In this case, can I mention in the payslip the basic amount as 10000 and PF as 780? If not, how should I split the salary? Please advise.

Thanks, Rajeev & Ashok.

I have another query, i.e., should I mention any note in the payslip or CTC breakup sheet that I'm deducting PF based on the government ceiling of 6500? Employees have been asking what they should mention about the PF deduction percentage if they move to other companies.

No need to mention like that, you can say the same things when you have small meetings, while observing the employees.

Dear Ashok & Rajeev,

Thank you for your reply. The employees are not satisfied with oral communication; they want the information in written format. They believe that showing the payslip in written form will make it more credible to other companies. Are there any legal issues related to mentioning or not mentioning this information?
