Hi All,
The same question raised during the pf inspection. As per pf inspector- those drawing basic salary less than 6500/- deduct the pf contribution on differential basic amount for example- if employee getting gross salary rs. 20000/- but his basic is rs.3000/- , as per PF Isnpector this is wrong - he is saying that minimum basic should be 6500/- and now deducted the pf on diff basic i.e rs. 3500/- and depsit to the pf oddice - IS THIS CORRECT- ANY CIRCULAR IS THERE THAT BASIC SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAT RS.6500/-?

Dear Sanjay,
Pf Inspector is wrong. No any circular release from PF organization.

discuss the issue with experts in this filed and they are in opinion that diff. amount should be paid. pf to be deducted on rs.6500/-

Dear Amith,
PF Component will be deducted only if when the employee basic is 6500 or more than that it.
Minimum basic is 6500.

If the basic wage is less than Rs. 6500/- that should basic wage for PF. If it is more than Rs. 6500/- and above, the maximum basis is Rs. 6500/- only.

Dear sambasivakamasani,
sorry it is not clear regarding your posting can u please elaborate it

There is no minimum basic fixed for PF deduction.There was a circular of EPFO that the wages shown in PF should not be less than the MW fixed for that job by the State Govt.But it is not yet implemented.
