• The EPF rules are implemented upon those whose salary limitation is up to 15,000.
• When an employee starts working, employer’s general contribution to his basic salary part is up to 12% only. And this 12% as an employer’s contribution gets directly deposited into his/her EPF account.
• But 10% in case of any small establishment, where less than 20 employees are working and in those establishments, which is running on the deep loss of the financial year.
