Employer contribution of pf

Hi Friends,

Suppose my CTC is 10,000 and it includes employer contribution of 1000 regarding PF. I just wanted to ask that this 1000 should be the part of my taxable salary or not.

I am in the view that it should not be the part of my taxable salary as it is the obligation of empolyer to contribute 12% of my Basic salary to My PF account.

Whats ur views?

Employer Contribution Towards PF will be exempt upto 12% of Basic Salary and in excess of 12% it will be taxable in the hands of employee.

What Gajendra wrote is correct

enployer's contribution toward provident fund is exempt as follows:

STATUTORY PROVIDENT FUND         :  FULLY EXEMPT

RECOGNISEPROVIDENT FUND        :  UP TO 12% OF SALARY***

UNRECOGNISE PROVIDENT FUND : EXEMPT AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT BUT TAXABLE WHEN WITHDRAWN.

***SALARY FOR THIS PURPOSE INCLUDE  BASIC + D.A. (IF IT IS TAKEN FOR RETIREMENT BENIFIT).

YUP it wont be taxable,once it crosses the 12% mark then then the surplus amount i e the amount above 12% would be taxable.

No, it is not taxable in the hands of the Employee as this is the liability of the Employer.

Thanks,
