Employer's PF Contribution Is A Part Of CTC ? Please Confirm

Can Employer's PF contribution included in CTC?

there is no definition of CTC, employer can add any component in CTC.
Employer PF & ESIC contribution can be the part of CTC ,but it should not be shown in wage register & salary slip. becasue as per both Act Employer Contribution can not be deducted from the wages of employee. it's amount to a penal offence.

Dear Sir,
As your question is related part of CTC so reply Yes,
but as a legal requirement PF is mandatory for all who was earing basic salary of less than Rs.6500/= per month.
Thanks.

It is the trick of the employer to inflate the CTC by including the employers contribution in the CTC.
pon

see ctc is cost to company n in short it means that cost employer incurs to employ a employee.. so obviously he will add it to ctc, thats y all the perks ,reimbursements are added to get the total figure of CTC.
Hope that helps.

Dear abhi65,
CTC (cost to the company) means any amount paid or spent on an employee by the organization. So employer contribution of EPF and ESIC are also a part of CTC.

Hi,
There are three terms used in salary-
1) CTC ( Cost to company, includes all the additional benefits an employer offers to a employee)
2) Gross salary ( Basic+ HRA+ other allowances)
3) In hand salary( After all deductions )
So it clear that total cost to employer, including PF contribution, ESIC contribution, medical contribution & any other contribution paid by employer for employee makes his CTC.

Hi All,
I want to tell you that any cost which incurred due to an employee, in this situation employer can count it into CTC which means total cost of an employee, whether it will be ESIC contribution, PF contribution or any other expense or reimbursement also.

Every employer used to keep account of expenses on employees direct in salary or indirect like canteen, uniform, shoes etc.
so answer to your question is PF contribution of employer is also direct cost to company like gratuity, ESIC or any mediclaim policy.

CTC is not a statutory concept. It is a business concept, and what should constitute CTC would vary from company to company.You are not going to be shot dead for including PF contrbution in the CTC nor will you be showered with petals for its exclusion.
