Hi, The contribution of employer is not to be included in salary. Therefore there is no question of claiming deduction u/s. 10 as regards employers contribution to providend fund. There is no need to show this amount in form No. 16. Employees own contribution Rs. 10524/- is only eligible for deduction u/s. 80C.
