Hope i can get answer for this..

Hi Kumaraswamy,
As per statute both PF and ESI are applicable to your organisation. You have to apply to the local PF authority and ESI office for separate code numbers for PF and ESI. You may visit the respective websites of EPF and ESI where you can view the application forms and can take print out for applying code numbers. For PF both employee and employer will contribute @ 12% on basic and DA. For ESI employer will contribute @4.75% and employee will contribute @1.75% of PF salary. For employees earning a wage @ Rs 50/- pe day employr will pay the full contribution i,e 6.5%. Books are also available both for PF and ESI.

Dear Mr.Mitra
I like your short and simpl reply
but i didnt get the meaning of PF Salary which you have mentioned in 4th line in mail.
Pls let me know is this different from Regular salary?or you mean to say salary after deduction of PF.
How to calculate ESI and PF.Explain with example.

Dear Mitra,
I did really get to understand it.. and may few more clarifications still required..
Can you tell me with an example if say I have to Pay basic salary 5000 and 200 DA on daily basis which comes to 6000, now the total is 11,000. How do you calculate the PF and ESI.
Thanks in advance..

Dear Kumara Swamy,
DA is not Dail y Allowance. it means Dearness Allowance. U cant pay basic 5000 & DA 6000. generally DA will be quite lesser than Basic. If total salary is 11000 then you can fix the both Basic & DA to 6500, HRA and other allowances to 5500. You can even increase Basic & DA to 7000 and reduce other allowance.
PF will be calculated 12% only on Basic + DA and not on the Gross & The same contribution from the employer too. Here you can limit the max of PF for 6500 if basic & DA exceeds 6500.
ESI will be calculated on Gross it is 1.75% of Employee contribution and 4.75% of Employer contribution total is 6.5%.
If the gross salary exceeds 10000 then those employees will not be eligible for ESI.
For further details u can contact me on 9343753361
Please tell me u r from which city & the location

hi all

Please do not confuse the rules of PF and ESI

As per PF act the PF to be deducted only on Basic and up to a ceiling of Rs.6500.00 of basic pay, Dearness allowance, HRA, and Conveyance Allowance on which PF is not to be deducted . Please refer the Wage definition of EPF Act. EPF : Employee share is 12% and Employer share is total 13.46% which is inclusive of EPF Employer share Plus 1% of administrative charges, 0.5% of Linked insurance and 0.01 % of other heads.

Here Basic wage is that which is fixed by the state governments by way of gazette Notifications as per Minimum wages Act and as well the dearness allowance fixed for every 6 months once and release by way of gazette notifications for awareness of the industry and traders, you can get a copy of the same from your near by or regional commissioner of labour office.


As per ESI the ceiling is Rs.10000.00 which consists of (Basic and Dearness Allowance )and the HRA and Conveyance or Travelling allowance are exempted from deduction of ESI please refer the case laws Given under ESI Acts. for ESI employee share is 1.75% and employer share is 4.75% on above wages. The wage is well defined in the ESI Act please purchase a bare act of ESI for your immediate reference.

In regard to insurance part, ESI will look after all fatal accidents and death cases of the employees and more over if you are more care full to wards your employees go for group insurance scheme which will take care of all the medical and hospital expenses of the injured at work.
