Hi All,
I have recently joined a new company. In my previous organization, the PF contribution was Rs.780 (12% of Rs. 6500) from both employer and employee. However, the "Basic" component was much more than Rs. 6500.
What I want to know is, can I have this same structure with my new company? Will there be any legal obligations for my company or me if we do this?
Also, can I have different "Basic" for PF and Income tax calculation like I had in my previous company?
If possible, I would like to back this up with documentation so that my new company can implement this.
Thanks ...

The PF contribution is 12% of Basic salary from both employee and employer. For the calculation the maximum limit of Basic is Rs 6500/-. It means even if the employee's basic salary is above Rs 6500/- the employer is liable to contribute only on Rs 6500/-, that is Rs 780.
However if an employee so desires he may voluntarily contribute more than 12%. Apart from it an employer also has to pay some administration charges.

Thanks for the reply Saad, however what I want to know is that if I have capping of Rs.780 as contribution, will I also have to keep my "basic" as Rs.6500 for taxation or it can exceed that and the PF still would be Rs.780.
