I run a Security Agency. The Principal Employer had been paying me 12% of the basic salary even while the basic was over 15000/- as PF contribution till date. However, once he issued a new P.O. due to minimum wages change, he reduced the PF contribution to a limit of 12% of 15000 only and not the actual basic salary as was being followed earlier. My query is; one, can he do that midway during a contract with the same set of employees, and two, can I be provided a copy of the rules which permit him to do so.
