Calculating Procedure on Provident Fund PF Amount for Salaried Government / Private Employers….
Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is a government run initiative that is under the Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952. This scheme mainly covers establishments in which 20 or more people are employed. Each employee’s whether in the public or private sector and earns a basic salary of Rs.15,000/- has to register themselves with EPF.

An employee will then be required to part with 12% of the basic wages together with a Deafness allowance as PF amount / PF contribution. When an organization has less than 20 employees then the employee’s and employer contribution drops to 10%.

The entire contribution of an employer is not added to the EPF kitty. This is because 8.33% of their contribution is sent to Employees Pension Scheme but is calculated on Rs.15,000/-. The remaining balance is then retained in the EPF scheme. What makes EPF a good investment is the fact that you can access your full contribution upon retiring.  For this reason, you will have to keep track of the entire contributions by calculating the PF contributions and interest.

How to Calculate PF Amount for Salaried Government / Private Employees

EPF interest is calculated according to the contributions made by the employer and employee. Every year the EPF Organization officials are change the EPF Interest Rate. Each month, an employee has to part with 12% of their basic pay together with a Dearness allowance. The 12% of the employer contribution is usually divided as follows:

• 3.67% goes to the Employee Provident Fund
• 8.33% into Employee Pension Scheme (EPS).
• 0.5% into Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI)
• 0.01% is directed towards EDLIs administrative charges.

When the employee’s income is below or equal to Rs.15, 000, then the PF amount of salaried Employers is calculated as follows.

• Employees monthly basic salary + Dearness Allowance: Rs.15000/-
• Employee contribution toward EPF will be 12% × 15000= Rs.1800/-
• 12% of the employer contribution will then be divided into two parts i.e. 3.67% goes to Employee Provident Fund and 8.33% set aside for Employees Pension Scheme. Therefore, the Employer’s  contribution towards EPF will be Rs.15,000 × 3.67% = Rs.550.5
• The remaining 8.33% will be multiplied by Rs.15000/- this adding up to Rs.1249.5/-

When the monthly basic salary is above Rs.15, 000, then you can use any of the methods below to calculate PF amount for a salaried employer.

• 12% of basic pay plus Dearness allowance for the Employer PF contribution together with 12% of basic pay i.e. 8.33% of 15,000 as the Employer PF contribution.
• 12% of basic pay plus Dearness allowance as employee contribution and 3.67% of Rs.15, 000 as employer contribution.
• 12% of Rs. 15,000 as employee contribution combines with 3.67% of Rs.15, 000 as employee PF contribution.

After computing the employee and employer contribution you will have to determine the interests accrued. Interest is computed on the opening balance of each month. For the first month, the opening balance is usually zero and thus interest accrued is zero.  The second month interest is calculated on the first month’s closing balance.

This balance is reached at by adding the employee and employer’s contribution for the 1st month. The total employee and employer contribution at the end of each year is then added to the interest accrued during 12 months. This action is repeated until the retirement age when you can withdraw 90% of the EPF corpus.

Procedure on how to check the Online Aadhaar Verified UAN Allotment in unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in website….
If you are an employee, you must be aware of what UAN is? If you are unaware of what it is, let me help you with that. Actually, UAN is a 12 digit number, which is given to the employees of any organization by the EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Organization. Do you know that UAN has been made mandatory for employees? Are you aware of the fact that you can generate the UAN yourself? If you are not, let me clarify you that, if you have Aadhaar, you can easily generate the UAN for yourself. We are already discussed in previous article which is on how to Link your UAN with Aadhaar in iwu.epfindia.gov.in/eKYC website.

Previously, UAN generation ability was restricted to the employer only. It was the employer who had the authority to generate the UAN for the employee before the employer starts contributing to the PF of the employee. After getting the UAN, the employee just needed to get it activated. The process to activate was also complicated. The employee had to provide the KYC documents. So if an employee had not generated the KYC documents, he needs to generate it and then submit it to the employer.

At that time, many organizations faced difficulties with the new joiners or this reason. The new way of generating the UAN with the help of Aadhaar has simplified this process to a great extent. If you are joining a new organization, just demand the ‘Form No. 11 – Declaration Form’. This helps to furnish the existing UAN. In case, you don’t have the UAN, you can generate the UAN and the process is not complicated as well.

You can do it simply with the help of the Aadhaar card and that too online, without any need of visiting any center for generating the UAN. But there is one limitation to use this process. Only those person can use this process, whose mobile number is registered with Aadhaar. Those who do not have their mobile number linked to their Aadhaar card, cannot use this facility.

The process to generate the UAN through an online mechanism is quite easy. The process relies on the OTP process of verification and authentication. You just need to enter your OTP and on the basis of this, the portal fetches related information like name, DOB etc. Once verified, you will get the UAN that can be given to the new employer for the employment and PF purposes.
