Hi Friend,
Regarding PF Contribution -Employer should pay 12% of Basic salary, in which 8.33% will goes to Pension Scheme balance 3.67 will goes to PF.
While calculating the Pension Scheme employer should pay 8.33% of basic (limit is upto Rs.6500/ ie Rs.541/-) not more than that rest will goes to PF.
For eg. If the employees is getting Basic salary of Rs.8000/- Rs.541/-(8.33%) will goes to pension scheme and Rs.419/- will goes to PF, however employer has to contribute 12% of basic, whatever be the amount.
Regarding Employee Contribution of 12% from basic is unavoidable as per the PF act.
Rate of Contribution
What may it may be the company they have to contribute the below following
Employee 12%
(Basic wages, dearness allowance)
