Hi Mrudula,
PF is a both-side contribution, meaning that the employer contributes 12% of basic + DA. This is wholly the employer's contribution and is to be paid out of the company's expenses.
Above the 12% contribution that goes to the PF and Pension Account (8.33% to the Pension fund and 3.67% to the PF fund), the employer is to pay admin charges on the PF account and also pay a percentage on the insurance policy.
Employee contribution -
The employer deducts the employee's contribution from his/her salary. The employee is to contribute a minimum of 12% of basic + DA, and he can voluntarily increase his/her share up to a maximum of 20%. The whole of the employee's contribution goes to the PF fund.
Also note that a company is covered under the PF Act once it employs more than 20 employees. Even if the employment at a later stage drops below 20, the firm is still said to be covered under the PF Act once it is covered.
Similarly, an employee can be covered under the PF Act only if his/her basic + DA is less than 6500. However, if he gets an increment, he is still covered under the PF Act, and the contribution is to be made on 6500. Once an employee is covered under the PF Act, he continues to be covered even if he changes his employment unless the new employment is not covered under the PF Act.

I would suggest that instead of gathering complete information about the implementation of the EPF Act from others who may provide information in piecemeal, it would be better for you to contact the local PF office and implement the Act provisions as per legal requirements to avoid any complications later on. Additionally, browsing the EPFO website can save time and provide exact information on other statutory provisions to be implemented after coverage. Any specific queries can be resolved through these channels.
