Is Provident Fund applicable on Dearness Allowances, even if the wages paid are above the minimum wages.

Hi,

Yes, PF contribution is on both Basic & DA. If the basic wages are above 6500/-, then you shall restrict it to the ceiling limit.

Hi all,

I want help, or rather, information.

I was working in a small manufacturing company in Pune. I left the job for better prospects. But when I left the job, I asked for final settlement but did not receive any PF amount. When I asked, our MD told me that the company does not have any PF code. However, to my knowledge, a 12% PF deduction was made from our salary monthly. I worked there for 1.5 months. Our salary was in cash. After that, I found out that many employees were not on the muster roll. The HR was the wife of our MD, sir. When I asked for an appointment letter, she used to say that I would receive it when I needed it for the next company. Now, my new company is asking me for the appointment letter and experience letter. I received an experience letter, but they didn't mention the months of experience. It was my first job, so I was unaware of these fraudulent things. But now, I have informed all my working friends there about this issue, but no action has been taken. They also need help. Please suggest to me how I can get my PF and what I should do.

Dear Sweety,

Your company does not have a PF code, so the deduction of 12% from your salary was incorrect. I suggest you file a complaint against your company with the labor commission along with proof of salary.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi,

If you have an offer letter, then proceed with your complaint. If you don't have any proof, then provide attendance proof.

Please suggest. I didn't receive any appointment letter. That is what I mentioned in my first post. I think I am helpless.

Dear Sweety,

I have no idea what I can suggest to you, Sweety. Your inbox is full, please delete some messages.
