Currently the ceiling of salary for PF deduction is Rs.6500/- Those who are drawing more than 6500/-
ceiling ccould be restricted to 6500/-. But if the company so desires, they can deduct PF for
above 6500/-, as it will be a benefit to employees.
Now it is also likely that ceiling for PF shall be increased to 15000/-.
Thanks.

An employee joining with Basic above Rs.6500/- and in his last organisation if he was not a PF subscriber, then only he can be exempted with PF.
At the same time the employer will make the employee signed in Form 11 during the joining time.

As per law, Employer contribution will be 12%. (PF)
Bifurcation:-
8.33% ------- Pension fund. (Calculation on Rs 6500. So maximum will be Rs 541 per month).
3.67% -------- Provident fund (On Basic + DA of employee's salary).
If suppose, employee basic + DA is more than Rs 6500, Eg. Rs 10,000 than contribution to Pension fund will be Rs 541 than adjusted amount will be transfer to Provident fund amount which will be 659.
