PF Limit - Pf Deduction

Hi friends
Can any one put some light on Rs.6500/- PF deduction limit?
Few companies cut PF only upto 6500/- and few cut even quite more ahead of that.
what is the exact rule ?
please urgent

dear
as per law whose basic and DA is upto 6500 ,PF has to be deducted
but after that it is choice of employer to deduct or not to deduct.
if once someone become member of PF than he will remain member of PF>
tks

Thanks Mr.Mallik,
Please dnt mind i have one more doubt here. As you said after 6500/- its a choice of the employer in that case upto what amount he can cut ?
suppose my basic + DA is 20,000 per month can employer cut on it the PF amount of 12% ?

Yes, they can do that. If the company want to continue PF beyond basic limit of Rs.6500/-, they can continue deducting.

No
It Is All Depends On Employee Consent.
If You Are Not Ready To Cut Pf On Basic &da (20000) Then There Is No Law To Cut It From Your Salary.

Hi,
Up to Rs6500,it is must for employer to deduct and employee have to cotribute.But Above Rs 6500 it is upon the employer they want to deduct or not.But if basic +DA of the employee is above Rs 6500 and employer ready to deduct ,the employee can refuse to opt PF.But once his PF deducted then he can not refuse.
Thanking you

Hi all,
but in my company for an employee whose basic is Rs.10000/- (Gross is20k) for them they are deducting Rs.1200/- which is employee contribution, but employer contribution is Rs.541 for employee pension and pf is Rs. 659. this is what followed in our company.

Sai,
Employer contribution inturn is divided into two sections. One is Provident Fund(3.67%) & Employee Pension Scheme(8.33%).
