It's very simple.
ESIC Calculation
For ESIC, it is calculated on the Gross salary (which includes OT). The OT amount is included for calculating ESIC, and if the salary (Gross) is above Rs. 15,000/-, ESIC is not applicable.
PF Calculation
For PF, it is calculated only on Basic + DA. The OT amount is not included for calculating PF.

Mr. Anand’s conclusion is good. but the PF deduction is also depends on Basic + DA and if it is a bellow ceiling limit then the pf is also attract the contribution.

Mr. Varghese Mathew, please permit me to elaborate on your statement:
Wages and ESI Calculation
Wages = Rs. 14,000/- + OT = Rs. 2,000/-
For checking whether the employee is within the ESI purview, consider only wages, which are Rs. 14,000/-. (As this is below the ESI ceiling, he will be under the purview of ESI coverage.)
But while calculating contributions in respect of the employee, you have to remit ESI contributions for Rs. 16,000/- (Wages + OT).
For PF, he has already responded.

Yes if his wages is Rs 14K then he shall be coverable under the Act. and contribution shall calculated on wages plus overtime, but i think subject Rs 15K, not on 16K.

For the calculation of ESIC, Gross Salary means Basic, DA, Conveyance, HRA, Special Allowance, and all fixed components. Apart from the fixed components, if any variable pay is provided like Overtime or Incentive, even this has to be calculated for ESIC. Similarly, if any Leave encashment and One-time Bonus are paid to resigned employees and if ESIC applicability is there, this should not be taken into consideration.
When it comes to PF, Total Wages represent only Basic + DA. Nowhere should PF impact Overtime wages.
