Dear Members,
During the COVID lockdown, when a few reliefs were announced by the Government of India, there was an announcement regarding EPF that the contribution by both the employee and employer would be reduced to 10% from 12% for the period of three months, i.e., May, June, and July.
Breakdown of Employer Contribution to EPS and EPF
My question is, how was the contribution of the employer broken down into EPS and EPF?
ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT ROJGAR YOJNA Subsidy Support
As per the press conference of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on the 12th of November 2020, there was an announcement on the ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT ROJGAR YOJNA subsidy support by the central government. The Central Government will provide a subsidy on EPF contributions for two years in respect of new eligible employees employed after the 1st of October 2020 in the following scale:
1. Establishments employing up to 1000 employees
2. Establishments employing more than 1000 employees
My question is whether the count of employees is the overall strength of an establishment or if it is the number that will be hired after the 1st of October 2020?
