Dear,
The benefit of employers contibution is taken by the employer while declaring his expense and in no way included in the gross salary of the employee. The taxability of PF can only be considered in case of withdrawal from the fund, other wise in cases whatever the amount contibuted by the employer 12 % or more is not at all taxable to the employee.
Thanks & Regards
