Dear Jagdish,
PF contribution can't be reduce any point of time,
secondly, employee wish to deduction his contribution more 12% then, you may allow to do so, but, in that case employer is not bound to deduction on higher % (more than 12%) they are allow to contribution at least 12%.

Mr. Tushar
Option is open if we get declaration from the individual to do so.

Dear Jagdish,
Your consultant is absulately right, you may still countinue to deduct on 6500/- till the new amendment is not yet come as PF authority is increasing the PF celling from 6500/- to 10,000/-

Mr.Jagadish,
The dedction or contribution to Provident Fund is statutory. The exisiting salary limit what fixed is Rs.6,500/- on which contribution @ 12% from employee side and equivalent amount from employer. Additional contribution over and above 12 % of the employees is permitted but employers contribution is limited. But in any case you cannot deduct the less amount. You continue the deduction on existing rate till new amendment comes into force.
