Greeting All, How to Calculate the Diwali Bonus in PF Arrear.
My question is
1. Doing regular ECR filing in PF by adding both Regular Salary and Bonus together and making the PF contribution in a single filing.
2. Do I want to make separate ECR in PF i.e. regular filing and arrear filing, which I want to deduct PF contribution for Regular filing- and Arrear Filing?
3. Are there any other methods - please attach a sample file.

Hi Boopathy

Calculating Diwali Bonus in PF Arrears involves several steps. It's important to ensure compliance with PF rules and regulations. Please consult a professional or the relevant authorities to make sure you're following the correct procedures. Below is a general guide on how you might approach this:

Separate Regular and Arrears Filings:
It's advisable to make separate ECR filings for regular salary and bonus arrears. This ensures transparency and compliance with PF regulations.

Calculation of Diwali Bonus in Arrears:
Calculate the Diwali Bonus for the specified period, ensuring it complies with any relevant labour laws or company policies.

Maintain Separate Records:
Keep a detailed record of both regular salary and bonus arrears. This will help in case of any future audits or inquiries.
Deducting PF Contribution for Regular Salary and Bonus Arrears:
Deduct the appropriate PF contributions for both regular salary and bonus arrears based on the applicable rules.

Preparing ECR File:
Prepare two separate ECR files, one for regular salary and another for bonus arrears. The files should contain the relevant details such as Employee PF Number, Name, Gross Salary, PF Wages, Employee's Share, and Employer's Share for both regular salary and bonus arrears.
Uploading ECR Files:
Log in to the Unified Portal of EPFO and upload the regular salary ECR file. After successful submission, proceed to upload the bonus arrears ECR file.
Verify the ECR Status:
Check the status of your ECR filings on the portal to ensure they have been successfully processed.

Payment of Contributions:
Pay the respective PF contributions for both regular salary and bonus arrears to the EPFO within the specified due dates.

Maintain Records:
Keep copies of all filings, receipts, and communication with the EPFO for your records.

Sample ECR File
You can easily create an ECR file using spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. The file should include columns for essential details such as Employee PF Number, Name, Gross Salary, PF Wages, Employee's Share, and Employer's Share, it's crucial to consult with a professional or refer to the latest guidelines from EPFO to ensure compliance with the most up-to-date regulations.

@Thirumalavan-Boopathy, why should you pay PF on Bonus payments? Bonus is an annual payment and it is not a wage or part of wage so that it will attract PF deduction. Then why should you want to deduct PF out of it?
