Employee's contribution and employer's contribution may be viewed separately. As far as employee's contribution is concerned, the gross salary is claimed as expenditure by the employer, where as the employee is paid with salary net of PF leaving the PF amount as credit in employer's hands. Unless it is paid to government on account of PF, the employer is taking undue benfit of expenses to the extent of employee's PF contribution which is rightly to be assessed in the hands of the employer under section 2(24)(x) of the Income tax Act,1961.
