As per the Act, the member has to contribute at the rate of 10% or 12% of his basic pay, D.A. & retaining allowance if any. In case the member wants to contribute more than this, voluntarily he can do so at any rate he desires. i.e. upto 100% of basic and D.A. But the employer is not bound to contribute at the enhanced rate.A joint declaration should be submitted to the Concerned RPFO.

Dear mahes,
I am not clear about yr actual query. As per PF act, the authority's purview is whether we are deducting pf Contribution upto Rs.6500 or not. Over and above Rs.6500, then it is voluntary contribution. For that you need to get Joint Declaration.

Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF): VPF is a safe option wherein you can contribute more than the PF ceiling of 12% that has been mandated by the government. This additional amount enjoys all the benefits of PF except that the employer is not liable to contribute any extra amount apart from 12%. An added advantage is that the interest rate is equal to the interest rate of PF and the withdrawal is tax free. Please note that the maximum contribution towards VPF is 100% of your Basic.
