Can employees ask employer to deduct pf even though basic salary above 15000

Mandatorily employer need not contribute , but only option subject to the allowable limits ie Rs 15000/ @ 12% per month.

Still if you want to contribute from employee side you can do so bu the company cannot

equally contribute or at the most not allowable as business expenditure to the extent of excess contribution ie max PF allowed 1800 which please note

experts view please
