04 October 2013 I have no doubt about Employee's Contribution on PF.

But Employer Contribution is also my Salary , I have included my gross salary and am Paying Tax on this (excess of 12%) that portion is also invested on behalf of me.

So, Why dont i take it for Sec 80C deduction?

04 October 2013 Hi,

Employers contribution is not part of your Gross Salary but it is part of CTC.

Also employers contribution is 100% tax free, it is not taxed & added to your income by any means.

You can check your Form 16 for that.

Thanks!!

04 October 2013 The contribution by employee is eligible for deduction u/s 80C.
Employer’s contribution is not taken for deduction purpose.
