Dear Mr. Sanjay, irrespective of gross salary, PF will be calculated on the basic salary. Until the basic salary of Rs. 6,500, the PF amount will be 12% of the basic.

As PF is applicable for employees with a basic salary equal to or less than Rs. 6,500, PF will be calculated as 12% on Rs. 6,500 even if the basic salary exceeds Rs. 6,500.

For your query, if the basic salary is Rs. 7,500, the PF amount will be Rs. 780 (12% on Rs. 6,500).

PF Calculation for Salary of Rs. 7500

If your gross salary is Rs. 7500, deduct 12% from your Basic salary. Alternatively, if your basic salary is Rs. 7500, under the act, 12% of the ceiling limit is Rs. 6500. If the employer is interested, they can pay 12% based on the actual basic earned.

Please elaborate on your question. If the gross salary is Rs. 7500, then the PF deduction is 12% of the basic salary.

Example Calculation

For example, if the basic salary is Rs. 7,500, the PF amount would be Rs. 780 (12% of Rs. 6,500).

Dear Hari Sir, I am also working in a newly started private organization and am struggling with providing a salary breakdown with allowances for the company's employees based on different gross salary levels. I need to set up medical, ESIC, and PF contributions. Could you please advise on the percentages needed and how to establish a PF account for my company? Should I consult a chartered accountant or the PF office for guidance?

I am uncertain about how to calculate PF contributions if the salary exceeds 1 Lac. What will be the employee's and employer's contributions in this case? Could you provide guidance on structuring the salary breakdown and allowances suitable for a new company? I would greatly appreciate it if you could specify the percentages of all the allowances and PF contributions. I am feeling quite anxious as I need to start the breakdown procedure from January 01, 2011, and your assistance would be invaluable in advancing my career in HR.

Could you also advise on the percentage of allowances to be applied to the gross salary? Providing an example with figures would be very helpful.

Thank you and regards,

The minimum PF amount that has to be paid is Rs. 360. The maximum amount can vary and depends on the organization. This information was recently provided to me by a PF inspector who visited our company.

PF Deduction and Contribution

PF will be deducted from the employee at 12% on Basic + DA, and the same amount will be contributed by the employer. If Basic + DA is greater than Rs. 6500, it will depend on the company whether they will deduct Rs. 6500 * 12% = 780, which is the maximum PF salary, or they will deduct on the full Basic + DA irrespective of the amount.

Contribution Towards Calculation Amount A/c Head

- **EPF EMPLOYEES SHARE**: 7500 X 12% = 900
- **EPS EMPLOYER SHARE**: 6500 X 8.33% = 541
- **EPF EMPLOYER SHARE**: 7500 X 12% (-) 541 = 359
- **EDLI CHARGES**: 6500 x 0.5% = 32.5
- **EPF ADMIN CHARGES**: 6500 X 1.1% = 71.5
- **EDLI ADMIN CHARGES**: 6500 X 0.01% = 0.65

The employer has decided to contribute based on the total basic salary, which is 12% on Rs. 7500, equal to Rs. 900. The EPS share is fixed at Rs. 541/-. The balance (900-541) goes to the EPF A/c, which is Rs. 359/-. The total share is Rs. 900/-. Out of Rs. 900, the EPS share is Rs. 541/-, which is fixed for a basic salary greater than Rs. 6500/-. The balance amount is 900-541=359, which will go to the EPF account. You might wonder about the 3.67%? Here, you don't need to worry about it.

Dear Sanjay, you have been provided with various valuable replies. I would also like to share my opinion about your query. As rightly mentioned in the above replies by members, PF is calculated at 12% of the basic salary. Additionally, it is calculated at 1.75% of the gross salary per month, so:

1.75/100 * 7500 = 131.25.

If seniors could provide me with guidance in case there are any shortcomings in my response, I would be grateful.

Happy New Year!
