It is not possible to contribute less than 12% from each party. Furthermore, the employer must bear the administrative charges of 1.61% as well. According to the EPF & MP Act, 1952, the rate of contribution is 10% only in some cases such as:
- Less than 20 employees
- Sick industries declared as per the Act
- Companies which have accumulated losses at the end of the financial year
- Manufacturers of Jute, Beedi, and Brick, etc.

Dear Priyesh In case the Est is not covered under EPF Act 1952 or the Employees are excluded than their PF contribution may be at a lesser rate. Why an employee would choose to reduce his benefits?
