Employers contribution to pf exempt

If ctc is 795000 comprising of 375000 basic 375000 allowance n 45000 provident fund and employee also contributes 12% of basic then the following will be the income from salary head

Salary 795000
Employers contribution (45000)
Standard deduction. (50000)
Professional Tax. (2400)
Employees contribution (45000)

So my question is whether employers contribution will also be deducted as exempt income while computing income tax.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an employer's contribution to a Provident Fund (PF) is considered taxable income. While the employee's contribution is deductible under Section 80C, the employer's statutory contribution is generally exempt from income tax, often falling under provisions like Section 80CCD(2) of the IT Act.

It is calculated as perquisite, while same will be exempt u/s. 8CCD(2) of IT act..

Employers share is statutory liability . So it may not be included in salary.

Only employees contribution is deductible under section 80C
Both are statutory liabilities.
employers share of pf is also exempted .Execess is taxable.
80C has only employees contribution to EPF
