PF Deduction Rules

avjarun@gmail.com
Hello All

Good day everybody. I am quite confused about PF deductions. I have read many posts on the internet and some claim that PF deductions has to be done for BASIC + DA (12%) and some tell that PF deductions have to be done only on BASIC (12%).

Which is exactly right ?????

I looked on to the PF rules PDF posted on the internet which clearly tells that it should be BASIC + DA. (12%). Our company does the same. However, employees still feel that their takehome is too low.

I recently looked on to other company's salary slip which was as follows:

BASIC 6700
HRA 4020
CCA 2208
Monthly bonus 292
Gross : 13220

Deductions PF : 804
ESI : 232
Professional Tax : 183

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I never see something like DA. Is this the right deduction. In my company there is BASIC, DA and HRA alone. So we are deducting 12% from basic + da. Please let me know what is the workout or tirck that can be done. Our company is in Chennai. Please advise.

Thanks for your time.
