PF is calculated on Basic and DA @ 12% for both employee and employer contribution. Employer contirbution is shown as 8.33% and 3.67% .Along with 12% employer contribution you need to pay 1.61% as admin charges ( 0.50%, 1.10 % , 0.01% on 12% contribtuion). So the total amount paid is 25.61% of the basic and da every month before 12th of the following month.
ESIC is paid on Gross amount of salary - Employee contribution is 1.75% and employer contribution is 4.75% of the gross, this has to be paid 18th of following month in which salary has been done.
