Dear Mr. Sanjai ji,
Here is a clarification of your doubt.
Clarification about Contribution
After revision in wage ceiling from Rs.5000 to Rs.6500 w.e.f. 1.6.2001 per month, the government will continue to contribute 1.16% up to the actual wage of maximum Rs.6500 per month towards Employees’ Pension Scheme. The employer’s share in the Pension Scheme will be Rs.541 w.e.f. 1.6.2001.
Under Employees’ Deposit-Linked Insurance Scheme the contribution @ 0.50% is required to be paid up to a maximum limit of Rs.6500.
The employer also will pay administrative charges @ 0.01% on maximum limit of Rs.6500 whereas an exempted establishment will pay inspection charges @ 0.005% on the total wages paid.
Notes:
The above clarification is given by taking wages up to a maximum of Rs.6500 towards wage (basic+DA).
Since an excluded employee i.e. drawing wages more than Rs.6500 can also become member of the Fund and the Schemes on joint request and if, for instance, such an employee is getting Rs.10,000 per month, his share towards provident fund contribution will be Rs.1200 e.g. 12% and employer’s share towards provident fund contribution will be Rs.659 and Rs.541 towards Employees’ Pension Fund.
