Urgent Query On PF Deduction

Dear Seniors,
If an employee has a Gross Salary of Rs. 40,000 and Basic is Rs. 20,000, the PF Salary is considered as the ceiling wage of Rs. 15,000, so that his every month deduction is Rs. 1800.
In a given month, he worked only for 15 days and rest of the month are LOP. So, his Gross Salary is Rs. 20,000 and Basic is Rs. 10,000.
How the PF is calculated?
Is it, Constant amount of Rs. 1,800 or Rs. 1,200 (12% of Rs. 10,000)?
Please guide me....

Dear U S Sharma sir,

@Panddu
Recruitment of Fresh employees with some formalities will entitle an employer to claim back 8.33% of employers EPS share, so the net effect on employer would go as low as 3.67% under PMRPY scheme
however there are restrictions and formalities to maintain

Dear Member,
At the time of less working days, earning reduces, which do not mean that PF contribution will be
calculated on Gross, When the Basic has been considered as Rs 15000, calulation will also be based on working days @ 15000 only.

The calculations of PF is done based on the actual number of pay days. In case of LOP of 15 days the final calculated amount (for full month) will be prorated for the 15 days worked. So the short answer is 'It is not constant' in case of LOP.
Hope this clarifies.

Dear Seniors,
