Provident Fund, 1952:

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
aggregate 12% + 12% is remitted to the Provident fund Department and along with includes
Administrative charges like EDLIS+Admin works contribution is 1.61%(1.11%+0.5%)
I.e.; 12%+12%+1.61%=25.61%
Where as in Employer contribution 12% is divided into 8.33%(PS) + 3.67% (EPF)
PS: Pension Scheme
EPF: Employee PF
EDLIS: Employee direct link insurance scheme
Always PF 12% is calculated on Basic Salary.
So, Sum of covered for employee total PF is 12%(Emp) + 3.67% (Employer)=15.67%
Rest of the 8.33% covered on Pension scheme.
Example:
Employee Side- 12% of Basic(Gross is:8000/month)
So if Basic of an employee is 3200/Basic+DA then
ESI contribution would be 3200*12% = 384 Rupees
Employer side- 12% of Basic(Gross is:8000/month)
ESI contribution would be 3200* 12% = 384 Rupees.
Admin charges 1.61% of Basic(Gross is:8000/month)
Contribution would be 3200*1.61% = 52 Rupees.
Total: 384+384+52 = 820 Rupees.
Employee State Insurance Act, 1948:
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 aggregate 1.75% + 4.75% is remitted to the
ESI Department.
4.75% of gross salary (Employers contribution) +1.75% of gross salary (Employees Contribution)
Note: The person who r getting more above 10,000 Gross salary, is not applicable for ESI Act
Example:
Employee Side- 1.75% of gross/month
So if gross of an employee is 8000/month then
ESI contribution would be 8000*1.75% = 140 Rupees
Employer side- 4.75% of gross/month
ESI contribution would be 8000* 4.75% = 380 Rupees.
