Dear Mr.Hiren,
The view raised by Mr.Keshav Korgaonkar on your Point E of NET RESULTS and OPINION seems to be confusing.
In my opinion, the Employer's contribution of 8.33% on Rs. 15000/- towards EPS would be Rs.1250/- and balance of Rs. 550/- will be remitted to Employer's PF contribution.
We need to seek clarifications from Provident Fund Commissioner about the employees whose pay at the time of joining the establishment in case is over and above 15000 are only to join EPF and EDLI Scheme and shall not be eligible for joining pension scheme, since there was a mail from Esewa about the salient features, which is enumerated below :
