Hi Fazil.,

Employer  does not contribuite to Public Provident Fund for the Employees

Employer's Contribution to Statutory Provident Fund is Exempt from Tax u/s 10(12) for the Employees.

Hi Roopak...

12 % should be calculated on

( Basic Salary + D.A.(Forming part of Salary) + Commission on Turn Over )

Employer contribution to EPF is exempted upto 12% of salary where salary means Basic salary + DA + Commission on fixedpercntage of turnover........

As per amendment-dated 22.9.1997 in the Act, both the employees and employer contribute to the fund at the rate of 12% of the basic wages, dearness allowance and retaining allowance, if any, payable to employees per month. The rate of contribution is 10% in the case of following establishments:

• Any covered establishment with less then 20 employees, for establishments cover prior to 22.9.97.

• Any sick industrial company as defined in clause (O) of Sub-Section (1) of Section 3 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and which has been declared as such by the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction,

• Any establishment which has at the end of any financial year accumulated losses equal to or exceeding its entire net worth and

• Any establishment engaged in manufacturing of  (a) jute  (b) Breed  (d) coir  and  (e)  Guar gum Industries/ Factories. The contribution under the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme by the employee and employer will be as under with effect from 22.9.1997.    

   

It is not obligatory on the part of employer to contribute to the PPF account opened by an employee.Hence any contribution by the employer to such PPF account of employee will be treated as a part of salary and will be included in the taxable income of the employee

.However amount deposited in the PPF account of the employee  will beome eligible for the standard tax exemption available for savings subject to limit as prescribed in IT Act for the concerned year.

PPF account can be opened by any person and standard assumption what ever amout get deposit in PPF account was that it has been deposited by the account holder

Since here your employer has deposited the amout in your PPF account what ever amount get deposited first it is treated at par as salary and benefit you get here is you are eligible to that amount under Section 80c for claiming chapter via deductions

But generally employor has to contribute to PF not to PPF

Thank you to All!
