PF - Employer Contribution

Bhuvana.AL · #1 21-09-2009, 08:19 AM

Dear All,

An employee is drawing more than Rs.6500/ as basic and PF contribution is also being paid as per the rules. Do the company have to pay the same contribution the employee pays or it can restrict itself to Rs.6500 for employer contribution?

Please clarify.

Regards

Hi Bhuvana,

As per the PF rules Employee PF contribution can be paid for the full amount of their basic or it can be restricted to 6500/-. If the employee contribution exceeds 6500/- then there will be more burden on employer to pay more admin charges. So most of the companies restrict employee contribution to 6500/-

Even the employer contribution contribution also shall be restricted to 6500/-
There are some companies where in the employer & employee contribution will be for their full basic & they will add it to their CTC. Then the company is not loosing anything from their pocket.

Dear Bhuvana,

There is no such resrictions on PF contribution either from employee or employer. There are such companies who pays PF contribution irrespective of Basic Salary.

Now in case of employer contribution, the basic salary is restricted to Rs.6500/- only for Pension Fund contribution.

Dear

As per the provisions of the Act, the amount is restricted to Rs.6500/- . But it is the descretion of the management whether to entertain the restriction or not. In PF that is (account number 1), over and above will booked in this account.

But for pension whatever we pay, it is restricted only for Rs.6500/-. The remaining amount of contribution will book into account number 1 in PF.

Hi,

It is the option of the company to pay the employer contribution beyond Rs.6500/-. other wise you can restrict employer contribution for Rs.6500/- on basic+DA.

As per statutory norms, the PF contribution by the employee and employer have to be the same amount. Either the Co can utilise a ceiling of having both parties (employee & employer) contribute only 780/- per month (in case of employee's basic sal being 6500 or above) or stick to the 12% of the basic sal.

Hope this clarifies.
