In CTC structure, the employer might have shown the employer part of 12%. No one will deduct the 24% in pay slips. Check your pay slip again which may show only 12% as deduction. Since the employer contribution is also a component of Cost to the Company, they would have included it in CTC.

Yes, if you have been a member of PF then you should continue to contribute irrespective of your salary. But I will not say that you should contribute both your share as well as employer's share which is illegal. But as already pointed out by other members, if the employer has only put his share as part of CTC, then the question of deducting it from SALARY will not arise and in such case, you cannot say that it is illegal because the employer has not deducted his share of contribution from your salary or recovered from you by any other means but only said that for him employing you will cost him Rs 780 over an above what has been paid to you as salary!!

Dear All,
I beg your pardon, for the mistake in my last comment. It was because, i thought that, the member has mentioned that it will be effective from Jan'2014, whereas the member was trying to say that his employer will deduct both the contribution parts from employees salary w.e.f. Jan'2014.
As the member is already covered under EPF w.e.f. July'2012, now he cannot exit from its membership once becoming the member.
Although, deducting complete 24% (12% employee's share & 12% employer's share) from employees salary is illegal.

Yes it is illegal. Rearrange the CTC structure in such a way that it is CTC- Er PF. So that only 12% EePF shall be deducted and shown in payslip. If 24% is deducted by your company and reflects in payslip, then the license of the company can be cancelled as this deduction amounts to criminal offence. This has been quoted by LLR, Mr.H.L.Kumar, Supreme court.
When employers are not in a position to lend ears to learned advisors, the only option is to let them struggle and defend themselves. But employees will suffer. So does it not mean that anybody with a capital fund can float a company without adhering to statutory or state acts..? For any irregularities of employer, it is the employees who suffer at the time of claim or transfer.What is the security to employees in contributing a mere Rs.780/- to EPF? If such practices continue then PF can be abolished and an RD account be opened with a nationalised bank (SBI) and linked to Aadhar card.

There is no specific form for higher contribution or voluntary contribution by the employee. For your office records the HR will ask for a letter from you requesting that your share of contribution may be increased to 24% from the current 12% and with a declaration that employer's share of contribution can be restricted to 12% only.
