Hi, could you please clarify the PF-related query? One of our employees has a basic salary above Rs. 15,000, but as he joined in between the month, his basic salary on a pro-rata basis is less than Rs. 15,000. In this case, do we need to consider the other allowances for deducting his PF as per the Supreme Court judgment?

Hi,
As per The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 wages ceiling amount is 15000/- per month. You do not worry about the supreme court judgement. If employee Gross salary-HRA is above 15000 then you can deduct pf on 15000/- only.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ravi, thanks for replying. But my query is, for example, if an employee joined on August 20 and their monthly basic salary is $17,000, when I am processing salary for 11 days of August, their basic salary on a pro-rata basis is $6,032. In this case, for PF deduction, do I need to consider the other allowances, or can I deduct the PF on $6,032?
