Important Update: How Recent PF Contribution Changes Affect Your Salary

Important Update on PF Contributions

Please find attached a news report from the Times of India confirming that employers do not have to make PF contributions on other allowances that are part of the salary. This information may come in handy until the official notification regarding the same is issued.

Regards

Please note that the Central P.F. Commissioner, via their letter dated 18th March 2014 (copy attached), has already communicated to all RPFCs in this regard. I hope you will find the information provided satisfactory for your queries.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear All, I have one query. My company pays the salary amount as a gross, without any breakup. Now that I have joined the organization, I am planning to handle all aspects.

Since there is no basic salary, PF benefits are not provided. If I create a breakup, can I deduct PF with effect from this month, or do I need to deduct it from the date of joining? If yes, is there any hard proof?
