Provident fund amendments 2014 query

This query is : Resolved 

30 December 2014 If an employees monthly basic is Rs.20000 per month then please tell me about additional pf rate and amount of pf

30 December 2014 PF APPLICABLE ON THE BASIS SALARY OF EMPLOYEE. IF EMPLOYEE BASIS SALARY UP TO RS. 15000/- YOU HAVE TO PAY THE PF @ 12%.
EARLIER LIMIT IS RS. 6500/-

30 December 2014 Hi

PF could be 12% of Basic or 12% of Rs. 15000 whichever option chosen by company is correct as per PF law.

Also if basic salary is more than 15k & no pf is deducted then there is no compulsion to contribute PF.

Thanks

30 December 2014 please tell me about additional pf rate

30 December 2014 What do you mean by additional PF rate?

30 December 2014 Mr. Vaibhav I think you are not aware about the amendments and also as per your reply koi pf kate ya na kate 15000 salary hone par ye kesa rule hua?....please dont reply if you dont know the answer

30 December 2014 Pl read carefully..I said that if your Basic salary is more than 15K then no PF is applicable to such employee.

However when you have deducted PF for such employee once & if his Basic exceeds 15K then you will be required to deduct PF for that employee even though his salary is more than 15K.

In PF there is no concept of additional PF rate.

12% of Rs 1500 is the mandatory contribution payable by the employer. But if the employer is willing to contribute on a higher salary, then there is no bar for that.

Similarly, an employee is free to make any percentage higher than 12% as his share of contribution and that may extend up to 100% of his basic salary.

30 December 2014 Read this FAQ for better understanding of rules:

Please not it was posted before amendment made in 2014 so basic salary mentioned there is 6500 insted of 15000


30 December 2014 Please carefully read the amendments there is provision of additional pf thats why i am asking

30 December 2014 can you share the file form where you read Additional pf rate.

30 December 2014 Ok, are you referring to 1.16% on the salary exceeding Rs.15,000 per month?

It is contribution towards pension scheme & not PF thats what created confusion..

Pl read this for clarity..

30 December 2014 In Short..

With effect from September 1, 2014, wherever the employer and employees have opted to contribute on a salary exceeding INR 6,500/ month,

such an employer and employee will have to exercise a fresh option (within 6 months or such an extended period by the authorities) to contribute on a salary exceeding INR 15,000/ month,

subject to the conditions that such a member would have to contribute the Central Government’s share of contribution at 1.16% on the salary exceeding INR 15,000/ month from his/ her share of contribution.

In case of failure, contribution to the EPS will be limited to 8.33% of INR 15,000/ month effective September 1, 2014.
