Dear Prashant,
Yes, the central government contributes 1.16% up to a ceiling salary of Rs. 15,000. Those who opt to contribute beyond the ceiling salary have to remit this 1.16% on the amount beyond the ceiling salary.

Dear Prashant,
The statutory obligation of pension contribution is up to the ceiling salary only. However, there was an option to contribute based on the actual salary beyond the ceiling limit. As of 01.09.2014, this provision has been withdrawn. Those who have already exercised the option can continue to contribute based on the actual salary, provided that: 1) They must submit a fresh option within six months starting from 01.09.2014, and 2) The Government contribution of 1.16% for the above-ceiling salary must be paid by the member.
All provisions of the Employees' Pension Scheme are applicable to all EPF members, regardless of whether they belong to public or private institutions.
