I understand that employer & employee contribution should be same, (12% of Basic) isn't it...?

Employer: 3.67% Provident Fund (A/c 1) + 8.33% Pension (A/c 10) + 1.10% Admin Charges on
PF (A/c 2) + 0.50% EDLI (A/c 21) + 0.01% Admin Charges on EDLI (A/c 22)
=>13.61% on basic

Hi Priyaa..

Thanks for Sharing PF details with us and i just wanted the clarification on

For Employer it is mandatory to contribute to PF on (Basic + DA) upto Rs.6,500/-. but you have said that the PF calculation only on Basic.

and i just waned to add some more information about the account maintainence...

A/c 1 Provident Fund (Employer 3.67 + Employee 12)

A/c 10 Pension (Employer 8.33)

A/c 2 Admin charges towards A/c 1 & A/c 10
@ 1.10% on (basic + DA) of all employees
(Employer contribution)

A/c 21 Employees Deposit Link Insurance – Paid In the event of
Employees death during service (Employer contribution)
@ 0.50% on (basic + DA max upto 6500/-) of all employees
i.e. total of (a+b) x 0.50%
a. Amount of Actual (Basic + DA) < 6500
b. Amount (No of employees with (Basic+DA) > 6500 x 6500)
Don’t know what happens to this amount if he completes
The service healthy

A/c 22 Administrative charge on A/c no 21 (Employer contribution)
@0.01% on (basic + DA max upto 6500/-) of all employees
i.e. total of (a+b) x 0.50%
a. Amount of Actual (Basic + DA) < 6500
b. Amount (No of employees with (Basic+DA) > 6500 x 6500)
