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.

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.
