Yes, you may approach the RPFC in this regard. Up to the ceiling limit, it is the obligation of the employer to contribute. Beyond the ceiling, the employer may choose to contribute or not. However, under no circumstances is there a right to deduct the employer's contribution from the employee.

In CTC regime, the employer contribution is also reflected in the CTC structure in order to inflate the CTC. It can not be categories as deduction from salary. regards R.Ponraj

I agree with pon1965 (above) - nowadays, CTC comprises the employer's contribution too. The employer can recover their contribution from the employee - as written in the PF Act (not 100% sure - read somewhere). It's advisable for employers to disclose this information while hiring employees, as it can come as a shock.
