EPF and ESIC Deductions
As far as EPF is concerned, it should be deducted on Basic + DA/VDA + Food Conc., if any. As far as ESIC is concerned, it will be deducted on the gross salary (inclusive of all allowances). The ceiling for ESIC should be Rs. 15,000 per month, inclusive of all allowances. As far as EPF is concerned, up to Rs. 6,500, the deduction of EPF is compulsory.
