Salary Limit for Provident Fund Contributions: What's the Employer's Responsibility?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to know what the limit of salary is beyond which the employer is not liable for contribution to P.F. I have heard that beyond a Basic salary of 25000, the employer is not liable to contribute. Please reply as soon as possible.

Dear Hemant Dugar,

The statutory salary ceiling for PF contribution is Rs. 15,000.

Abbas.P.S

Eligibility for Provident Fund Membership

Every employee, including those employed through a contractor (but excluding apprentices engaged under the Apprentices Act or under the standing orders of the establishment and casual laborers), who receives wages up to Rs. 15,000 per month, is eligible to become a member of the fund. The condition of three months of continuous service or 60 days of actual work for membership of the scheme has been removed.
