Quick Summary
This discussion seeks clarification on the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) ABRY scheme's wage ceiling. Specifically, it questions whether the 'EPF wages' for the scheme are based on total gross salary or just Basic + Dearness Allowance (DA). The user notes that EPF Act Section 2(B) defines EPF wages as Basic + DA, but believes the ABRY scheme considers total gross salary. This leads to a query about whether the scheme applies if wages exceed the £15,000 threshold.

 

For the ABRY scheme, the total gross salary is considered as the EPF wages

So, in the ABRY scheme, is it not applicable if wages / salary exceeds 15k ?
