“Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday announced that the statutory provident fund or PF contribution of both employer and employee will be reduced to 10% each from the existing 12% each for all establishments covered by EPFO for the next three months.”

EPF & EPS Contribution Rate

And what will be the percentage rate of contribution towards EPF & EPS (employer) when it is fixed at 10% for the next three months?

Understanding the Notification

What does the below statement mean:

"In the said notification, in SCHEDULE II, after clause (iv), the following clause shall be inserted, namely:

(v) Any establishment, other than Central Public Sector Enterprises and State Public Sector Enterprises and other establishments owned by, or under the control of the Central Government or the State Government, as the case may be, in respect of wages payable by it for the months of May, June, and July, 2020."

-Is this applicable for State/Central public sector enterprises? And what will be the percentage rate of contribution towards EPF & EPS (employer) when it is fixed at 10% for the next three months?
