CALCULATION OF EPF
Employee is required to contribute 12% of “PF salary” while the employer is required to contribute 13% of “PF salary” towards Employees’ Provident Fund where “PF salary” consists of Basic + DA (including the cash value of any food concession) and retaining allowance Employer’s contribution of 13% is distributed in four different accounts i.e. EPF, Pension Scheme, Employee Deposit Linked Insurance and EPF Administration charges in following manner:
ILLUSTRATION
Suppose an employee earns salary of Rs 16000 comprising of: Basic Salary – Rs 10000 Dearness Allowance – Rs 2000 HRA – Rs 4000 Since his Total of Basic salary and DA is less than Rs 15000, he is covered within the ceiling limit. Calculate EPF contributions and write journal entries.
So total contribution made is Rs 1440 + Rs 1560 = Rs 3000
