23 January 2014 Dear experts

Is there any minimum and maximum limit for PF contribution by the employer.

Suppose an employee salary is (basic+DA)= 5000/- and adding his other allowances came upto 6500/- and employer has contributed 12% on 6500/-.Now he has paid EPS 8.33% on 6500/- and 3.67% on 6500 to EPF. Is it correct.??

pls its urgent

PF is to be calculated @ 12% on Basic + DA only.

There is limit on max amount contribution i.e. in case if Basic + DA is more than 6500 then you can restrict contributions on Rs. 6500/- only.

Thx

23 January 2014 That is OK. thanks for ur reply...

I refer the example in the previous query. Employee basic+DA is 5000/-,and aggregate of other allowance such as washing allowances / performance allow come upto 6500/-, then PF contribution should be on 6500/- or 5000/-..?

My 2nd question, if employer contributed on 6500 then on what amount to be transferred to pension scheme.
