The employee and the employer contribute to the EPF scheme on monthly basis in equal proportions of 12% of the basic salary and dearness allowance. Out of the employer’s contribution, 8.33% is directed towards the Employee Pension Scheme (EPS), 0.50% towards Employees’ Deposit-linked Insurance scheme (EDLI) and the remaining is retained in EPF.
