Dear Sir,
We have non-resident employees. Every month, we provide their salary. Apart from the initial arrival, we offer a one-time travel allowance. Do we need to deduct and remit PF for this single payment?

what do you mean by NRI? Indians holding citizenship of another country? expats? what do you mean by remit PF for one payment?

Dear, PF deduction should be only on Basic and DA rather than Travelling allowance.

Dear Sir, We are deducting and remitting PF for their salary regularly. My doubt is whether we also need to deduct PF for any one time payment.

Hi Vijay,
As per the EPF Scheme of 1952, the employer and employee shares are equal up to Rs. 780 (which is 12% of Rs. 6,500 per month). The provision states that the employer's contribution shall be limited to the amounts payable on a monthly pay of Rs. 6,500, including dearness allowance, retaining allowance (if any), and the cash value of food concession.
Therefore, the contributions for both the employer and employee are equal up to a salary of Rs. 6,500 per month, with the PF contribution on either side being a maximum of Rs. 780.
Thank you.

Dear Vijay,
Greetings!
PF is a deduction/contribution on basic + DA (unless your company is so generous that it contributes to PF on the gross salary).
One-time payment, in my opinion, will not change the basic + DA, so there is no need to deduct/contribute PF on the same. However, members can provide better suggestions if you attach the salary slip.

Dear Sir,
The PF commissioners are insisting on deducting PF from the gross salary of expats. We have agreed to this; however, the traveling allowance is a one-time payment and has not been included in their salary statement. They are also asking for this amount to be deducted from the PF. Is this correct?
