Now Provident Fund Is In Line For A Wage Cap Increase From Rs. 6500 To Rs. 15000 - An Article On Economic Times.

Finance Ministry may raise wage cap for provident fund to Rs 15,000 per month.

The finance ministry is considering a proposal that can sharply reduce the government's borrowing costs, bring longterm savings into the cashstrapped infrastructure sectors, deepen the corporate bond market and, possibly, even make Indian stocks less vulnerable to the whims of foreign institutional investors.

The proposal, moved by the labour ministry, seeks a conditional pact with the finance ministry, under which the finance ministry will raise the statutory wage ceiling for provident fund contributions to Rs 15,000 per month from Rs 6,500. The labour ministry will in turn commit to route a bulk of the incremental annual inflows of Rs 90,000 crore into government bonds and infra projects, where it does not invest.

PF is not in line with wage cap
This is only a proposal, not approved

Dear Saswatabanerjee,
The article also says that it is just a proposal by the Finance Minister and not a approved Notification. Nowhere in the article it is written it is approved or bill has passed.

Yep,
But your topic heading is misleading ....
That is what I was saying

bad news for Employers as their contribution will raise.
