Understanding EPF Form 3a Contributions: Can Anyone Help Clarify the Calculation?

Dear friends,

I have a doubt regarding the calculation of EPF Form 3a contributions. Can anyone provide a solution?

EPF Form No. 3A is the annual return of contributors to EPF, and the said form is available from EPF offices/EPF websites. Form 3A contains contributions made from March (i.e., paid in April) to February (i.e., paid in March).

It's very simple; you need to specify the following in Form 3A:

- Wages/ Basic Salary
- Employee share 12% of Basic
- Employer share EPS 8.33% of Basic
- Employer share EPF (wages - 8.33% of basic)

Same process for all the 12 months.

If you need any clarification, reach me.
