Dear All,

Please help me in resolving the query below:

Salary Breakdown and PF Deduction Query

Suppose my salary is as follows:
Basic: 16000
Other allowance: 4000
Gross: 20000

My PF is deducted with a capping of 15000. In a particular month, I am paid for 15 days. Therefore, is it necessary to deduct PF on 10000 (including other allowance) or should it be only on 8000?

There will not be any issue when my basic earned is more than 15000. The issue arises when my basic salary is less than 15000. In that case, is it required that we should take into account other allowances for PF contribution?

Please revert.

Only HRA is exempted for arriving salary/wage per month for making recovery of PF. Since your basic and CCA has crossed Rs. 15000/- every month you are liable for PF recovery of Rs. 1800/- only
