The Provident Fund (PF) calculation in India is not typically influenced by the shift schedule of an employee. The PF is calculated based on the employee's basic salary and dearness allowance (if any). As per the Employee Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, both the employee and the employer contribute 12% of the basic salary and dearness allowance towards the PF. This remains unchanged regardless of the shift pattern, including a two-day, two-night, and two-weekend pattern. Please check the

Still, it can vary based on specific company policies. To get a precise understanding, I suggest you review your company's policies or consult with the HR department. Please remember to check any changes in the law, as they are subject to change and can impact the calculation.
