Is It Legal for Employers to Deduct Their PF Contribution from Employee Salaries?

In my office, my employer deducted employer PF contribution from employees' CTC or Inhand Salary. Just like we have a deduction of Rs. 1800 as employee contribution, the employer/company contribution of an equal amount of Rs. 1800 is also deducted from our salary.

Is this a legal practice by the company?

Deduction of employer contribution from employee salary is illegal. As an employee, you are expected to pay your share, which is deductible from your salary and gives you IT benefits. However, employers deducting their share also from your pay is irregular.

Please check with other employees to see if the same is happening. Take it up with the employer and find out if it is inadvertent or intentional.
