New to HR in Construction? Need Help Understanding Provident Fund Basics

Ankit Ramani
Hello, guys, I am a newly appointed HR professional in a construction company and am also a fresher. I am confused about the Provident Fund. Can anyone help me with PF?

What confusion do you have regarding PF? Any employee with a salary less than ₹6,500 is compulsorily enrolled in the PF scheme. An employee with a salary higher than ₹6,500 can also join the PF scheme, but it is not mandatory.

Contribution Rates

The rate of contribution for the employer is 12% of basic + DA, while the employee's contribution rate is 12%. The employee can contribute more if they wish, up to a maximum of 85%.
