Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of provident fund (PF) contributions. Employee contributions to a PF are eligible for deduction under Section 80C. Employer contributions up to 12% of salary are tax-exempt, while any amount exceeding this limit is taxable under the 'salary' income head.

80C deduction
Query is not clear. Deductions are provided to reduce tax liability.
Provident fund deductions from pvt company is taxable under which Head ?
It is deducted under chapter VI A and it is 80C deduction

Employer's PF contribution to the extent of 12% of salary is exempt and anything above the limit is taxable under the head salary.

Employee's contribution can be claimed as deduction u/s 80C.

Though the query is still not clear to me, I have tried my best to reply. Hope this what the query is about.
