This is not provided in the Act; indeed, there is a specific provision that employer contribution of PF cannot be deducted from the earnings of the employee (Section 12). In case you still deduct the contribution paid to PF, this would be a breach of the Act, and accordingly, the penal provisions in the EPF Act 1952 will be attracted.
