What is the bifurcation of my EPF. Sania & My PF Slip does not show the complete 12 + 12% of pf deposited.
EPF is a statutory deduction, where 12% of your basic is deducted from employee. This amount goes to EPF account. The equal amount is contributed by employer. However it is bifurcated into Family Pension and EPF. 8.33% of your basic is added to Family Pension Fund subject to maximum of 1250/-. The balace is added to your EPF. Your EPF slips only shows the EPF 12% + 3.67% or so and Family Pension Fund is not reflected in this. There is nothing to worry, when you apply for withdrawl, your entire amount is remitted back to you, both EPF and Family Pension fund. If you leave a job before 6 months, Family Pension fund is taken by the EPF department. If you work for 6 months or more you are refunded that amount also.
EPF deposits normally earn interest of about 8.5% per annum compounded monthly. These are same or better as compared to Post Office, Public Provident Fund or PPF schemes.
What is Family Pension Fund? Do we get pension also?
Family pension fund is to insure that you get pension after you attain age of 58 years, You are entitled to family pension only if you have been a member of EPF for atleast 10 years. This can be a total period spent in various companies where EPF was applicable. In case of unfortunate death of member, member's spouse & parents also get pension even if member has not completed 10 years of service. If you have started your career with a basic salary of more than 15000/- your entire money will go to PF and you will not be entitled for family pension fund.
Are we insured? Do we get something in case of accident/death?
All our employees are ensured under ESIC scheme and those who have salary above ESI limit are insured through Group Personnel Accident Policy. You may be entitled to Medical Insurance also based on the client where you may be working. Please get in touch with your HR contact with the client to know more about it.
Current ESI limit is Rs 15,000/-. You are out of coverage in case you have gross
salary (not CTC) above 15,000/-.
If you are contributing to EPF you are also insured under EDLI policy of EPF.
Do we get salary increases?
Normally we take up with the client to at least allow us to increase salary
of our employees once a year. Increments are normally done on completion of one
year or on end of financial year. Please contact your Local HR contact to know
what is the procedure at your client location.
I am unable to open my salary slip online?
