08 October 2013 As per my opinion you should book your
Providend Fund entries this way.
1) Booking of salary & deduction of
Provident Fund form that.
Salary A/c Dr.
To Employee A/c Cr.
To Provident Fund (Employees
Contribution) A/c Cr.
2) At the time of Provident Fund
depositing to Bank which was collected
from employees
Provident Fund (Employer Contribution)
A/c Dr.
Provident Fund (Employees
Contribution) A/c Dr.
To Bank or Cash A/c Cr.
[After this entry Provident Fund
(Employees Contribution) A/c will be
ZERO]
3) Employer contribution to be transfer
to Profit & Loss Account as this is the
expenses for the organization.
Profit and Loss Account Dr.
To Provident Fund (Employer
Contribution) A/c Cr.

09 October 2013 Thank you and Thanks to all for reply

09 October 2013 Thanks for Acknowledgement!

09 October 2013 Employer Contribution is allowed as expenditure. its clear, but in case of Employee contribution (PF) is allowed as expenditure or not?


09 October 2013 Employee Contribution is not expense of company.

Its is deduction from salary hence liability of company.
