This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for government contributions to the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) under a new scheme. It outlines the journal entries for employers, specifically addressing the 24% government contribution for new employees earning less than £15,000 per month, applicable for the first two years of employment. The advice also touches upon scenarios for larger establishments.

( Being contribution towards EPF )

when EPF will be paid in Govt account

( EPF deposited in GOVT account )

E provident fund account will be under current liabilities Balance sheet .

Sir, my question is not for treatment of employee contribution, but for contribution of government under new scheme in respect of new employees for 2 years

Ok , under the new scheme GOVT to provide EPF subsidy for two years in respect of new employee in establishment with following conditions .
1) employee drawing monthly wages less than 15000/- and working in Establishment not registered under pf and did not have UAN number prior to 1/10/20 in Establishment employing up to 1000 employee GOVT will pay 24 % in respect of new employee for 2 years
2 ) Establishment having employee more than 1000 Govt will pay only new employee contribution 12 % up to year's .
you have to check out period of appointment from date ,up to what date is applicable.
