05 December 2020 Hi Everyone,

We have bifurcated salary in below components:-

Basic Salary
HRA
Conveyance Allowance
Special allowance

But while calculating EPF contribution, we are adding Basic Salary, Conveyance allowance and special allowance and we are deducting 12% from this amount as employee contribution but if it crosses limit of 15000/- as per EPF then we are deducting 12% on maximum of Rs. 15000/-.

Please advise is it the right way of doing deduction for EPF.

Thanks

05 December 2020 Dear Sir,

Thank a lot for quick response.

Can we continue with 'special allowance' component in salary but will deduct EPF as already conveyed in last query.
