Accounting of PF Contribution
Suppose total gross salary payable for the month of
January 2010 is Rs. 3,00,000
Out of above, basic salary which is eligible for Provident
Fund contribution is Rs. 2,00,000
Hence, the Employee Provident Fund contribution will be
calculated @12% of basic salary i.e. Rs. 24,000.00
Net salary payable to Employee is Rs. 3,00,000 –
Rs.24,000 = Rs. 2,76,000.00
The entry for above transaction will be made accordingly
Employee’s PF share Entry
Staff salary Expenses Dr. Rs. 3,00,000
(This is the cost which the company has to bear )
Staff Salary payable Account Cr.2,76,000
Employee’s PF payable
Cr. 24,000
(it is your liability to pay to govt.)
Employer’s Share of Contri…
Now, make one another entry for employer’s contributions
for the above salary
An employer is also required to pay a sum @12% from the
basic salary before the same is disbursed to employee.
Apart of this, Employer is also require to pay @1.61% (of
basic pay )additional amount as per below
@1.10% towards PF administration fees
@0.50% towards Employees Deposit linked insurance
scheme
@0.1% towards EDLI administration charges

Dr. Employer PF Contribution Rs.24,000
Dr. PF administration Fees Rs. 2200
Dr. Employee EDLI Rs. 1,000
Cr. Employer’s PF payable Rs. 27,200
Now total PF payable will be Rs. 24,000+
