Mr. Deepak,
Kindly Note: The above information is given by taking wages upto a maximum of Rs.6500 towards wage (basic+DA). Since an excluded employee i.e. drawing wages more than Rs.6500 can also become member of the Fund and the Schemes on joint request and if, for instance, such an employee is getting Rs.10,000 per month, his share towards provident fund contribution will be Rs.1200 e.g. 12% and employer ’ s share towards provident fund contribution will be Rs.659 and Rs.541 towards Employees ’ Pension Fund.
Hope this wil work for you.
Thanks & Regards,
C. Bhushan Sharma

Dear All, My query is that can we(company) stop the PF Contribution if in the period of time his (basic+DA) become greator than 6500. Thanks & Regards Deepak Awasthi

dear deepak
once he become member of PF And now his basic has increased from 6500 than also u can not stop his contribution.he has to be member of PF till he is working with you.
as u mentined to take resignation and ask to do rejoining,if u ask legally than u should
continue to deduct his PF on same number after rejoining.
dear what is form 11 of PF ? it is form on which we are taking declaration from new employee at the time of joining that he was not member of PF in previous organisation.
so what will be condition here.
tks

Hi,
Rightly mentioned by Mr. Malik, once an employee becomes a member of PF, the contribution has to be continued even when the basic salary increases then Rs. 6,500/- Your suggestion of resigning the employee & then showing it as joining will suffice only if he is idle for 2 months. Form 11 mentions the same thing that the employee has not been a member of PF in his previous organization.
