Respected Members, I want to know the PF limits. I mean if a person's wages (BASIC+DA) are more than Rs. 6500/-, is he eligible for PF? What are the deductions by the employee and employer for PF, pension account, EDLI, etc.? What is EDLI basically meant for? When can a person withdraw the amount of EDLI?

Yes, Anpat, if the Basic pay (Basic + DA) is more than 6500, those employees are also eligible for their PF contribution of 12%. Suppose they would like to contribute more than 12%, it is possible to pay from their salary. In this case, the employer will contribute Rs. 780 (Voluntary restriction).
EDLI - Employment Development Linked Insurance
EDLI is the payment we make to LIC. Once we are covered under EDLI, we will pay only:
- A/c No: 1 = Basic salary
- A/c No: 10 = 8.33%
- A/c No: 2 = A * 1.1%
- A/c No: 21 = A * 0.5%
- A/c No: 22 = A * 0.005%
Hope this is clear to you.

If an employee's basic salary is more than Rs 6500, then PF will not be deducted. However, if employees want the deduction of PF, the employer will not contribute. The deductions are as follows:
Employee | Employer
---------|----------
A/C 1 Employee & Employer Contribution | 12% | 3.67%
A/C 2 Administration Charges | - | 1.10%
A/C 10 Employee Pension Scheme | - | 8.33%
A/C 21 Employee Deposit Linked Scheme | - | 0.50%
A/C 22 Inspection Charges | - | 0.01%

PF Contribution and EDLI Details
Basic Pay (Basic + DA) is more than 6500; employees are also eligible for a PF contribution of 12%. The central government announces a wage ceiling of 6500 because it is the limit for the employer pension amount for employees. For example, employees with basic pay below 6500 receive 8.33% of basic pay as a pension amount every month, while employees with basic pay exceeding 6500 receive only Rs. 541 as a pension amount, with the remaining amount going to the provident fund account.
Understanding EDLI
EDLI stands for Employee Deposit Linked Insurance. Employers contribute 0.5% of the basic pay every month to EDLI. This is useful only for the employee's nominee, not for the employee directly.
