“Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday announced the statutory provident fund or PF contribution of both employer and employee will be reduced to 10% each from existing 12% each for all establishments covered by EPFO for the next three months.”

And what will be the % rate of contribution towards EPF & EPS (employer) when it is fixed to 10% for the next 3 months.

what does the below statement mean:-

"In the said notification, in SCHEDULE II, after clause (iv), the following clause shall be inserted,

namely:-

“(v) Any establishment, other than Central Public Sector Enterprises and State Public Sector

Enterprises and other establishments owned by, or under the control of the Central Government or

the State Government, as the case may be, in respect of wages payable by it for the months of May,

June and July, 2020”.

-Is this applicable for State/ Central public sector enterprises? & what will be the % rate of contribution towards EPF & EPS (employer) when it is fixed to 10% for the next 3 months.
