Employer also Contributr Equal amount as of Employees..

Entry will be

On Exp. Side there will be 2 heads regarding PF. i.e. Employees contr. to PF & Employers Contr. to PF. is it correct?

(Guest)

NO......Employee's Cont to PF is not an Expense of an Employer.

It is deducted from Employees Salary.

For PF account you have to open two ledger account one under Current liabilities and other one under indirect Expenses. When you credit to salary acount of Employee then make credit to the A/c of current liabilities and for employer contribution & other charges paid to PF dept debit the account of Expenses.

Employee contribution amount are the liability of company and if it is not deposited in Govt account the same will be appear in B/S Liabilities side. after paid the account must be equal.

Employer contribution is an expendinturte for company so it is shows in P/L account.
