Dear all,

Please provide complete details regarding PF (employee and employer) contributions and where we can check our PF balance within the department. Additionally, could you inform me about the timeline for receiving a refund if I claim to withdraw the PF amount?

And this Rs. 1440 is your contribution to PF, which is exempted from tax. For the purpose of IT calculation, you don't take into consideration the employer's contribution to PF as salary income. Hope that clarifies. Thanks, Geeta

Dear Pramod,

Normally, it takes 60-90 days for the processing of PF claims. As far as I know, the balance can be ascertained from the records maintained by HR, or if you are getting pay slips regularly, you can verify. The PF department issues Form 3A, which is the annual statement of accounts that can also be used to verify the balance.

Dear All,

Section 6 of the PF Act (other than the establishments declared as sick), contributions of employees are 12% of the basic pay and DA.

Special Allowance is a part of DA that is considered in PF contributions of the employees.

CTC means Cost To Company, which is the total amount expended on the employees, including contributions of the employer for PF, ESIC, and Bonus, etc.

Employers receive benefits on their entire payable contributions for Income Tax.

When computing individual Income Tax, consider only the employee's payable contributions (not the employer's).

Out of 12 % of company contribution, 8.33 % on basic salary or maximum Rs 542/- per month goes to Employees Pension Fund as per PF act, 1952 and Employees Pension Scheme, 1995. Remaining 3.67 % on basic salary goes to PF account. What you are seeing in the PF statement under employer's contribution is 3.67 % only on basic salary. Balance contribution has gone to Employees Pension Fund. The amount contributed towards pension fund is remitted every month in your pension account, which is maintained by Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Bangalore. The PF statement does not contain pension contribution details since it is maintained by PF’s office, Bangalore rgds Anthony.

The employer's contribution of PF cannot be claimed for exemption by the employee. It is also not taxable (it's not an income). Your contribution towards PF is exempted under 80C - up to a maximum of 1.00 lac.
