employees should be covered under EPF ACT.

(B)Employee Contribution:
If Employee Basic (Basic means Basic + DA/VDA) is
Lesser than 6500
1) 12% on Employee Basic Salary is Mandatory

(If Employee Basic (Basic means Basic + DA/VDA) is more
than 6500)
1) There is option of exemption from PF & If
management wishes to cover
then employee shall be coverd under EPF Benefit

2) Employee contribution shall be limited upto the
basic of 6500 that is Rs 780/-
(Rs 780/- is 12% on 6500) OR
3) Employee contribution shall be coverd on full basic
no ceiling limit
(Eg. If employee basic is 10,000/- then 12% on the
basic is 1200/-)

Lesser than 6500
1) 12% on Basic Salary is Mandatory ( Equal

Same contrbution as of Employee (Rs 780/- is 12% on

Answer / anjan

PF : Provident fund is calculated @ 12% on the basic
salary, which indeed is deducted from Employee's salary and
the same plus 12% on the basic is contributed by the
employer. So the aggreate 12% + 12% is remitted to the
Provident fund Department

ESI : Employee State Insurance is calculated at 1.75% on
the gross salary of the employees whose salary is below Rs.
10000/-permonth (w.e.f 2008) and Employer contributes 4.75%
on the gross salary of the employee and the agreegate 1.75%
+ 4.75% is remitted to the ESI Department

VAT : VAT percentage is 1, 4, 12.5%. It is a tax which is
charged on the basic value of the product by the seller
from the buyer and the same is remitted to the Sales Tax
Departement. for eg if the product value is Rs. 100 and the
tax applicable is 4%, in such case a bill is raised for Rs.
104.
