So let’s know in detail about them and also about the ESI, TDS and PF payment due dates.

What is PF?

PF

Source

The Provident Fund (PF) is basically a scheme for the profit of the employees. In this fund, the employee contributes a certain amount from his or her salary and also the employer i.e. the company contributes a certain sum to the fund for its employee’s future benefits.

From this contribution or you can also say the investment of both the employee and the employer, the employee gets a certain amount of interest each year. However, the employee does not get this amount in hand each year.

He or she gets this amount at the time of his or her retirement or at the time of leaving the company. Here in this article below, I am giving the due date for PF payment as well as pf due dates for the return payment.

NOTE:

The whole amount of this PF is (Employer’s contribution + employee’s contribution + total interest)

The Contribution Of Employee To PF (Provident Fund):

The employee has to contribute a minimum of 12% of his or her DA + Basic Salary to the Provident Fund (PF). In the case of Private Company, there isn’t any Dearness Allowance (DA).

That is why in case you are an employee of a private sector company then it is 12% of the basic salary.

The Contribution of Employer to PF (Provident Fund):

The Employer contributes a total of 12% to the PF (8.33% is for Employee Pension Scheme i.e. EPS and rest 3.67% is for other purposes).

PF Payment Due Dates:

The PF payment due date is the time by which you must submit your PF. The company automatically deducts the amount from the salary of the employee. This deduction has to take place on or before the 15th of the month.

PF return due date:

The PF return due date is similar to the PF payment due date i.e. the return due date is on or before the 15th of each month.

NOTE:

Due Date of PF Payment: On or before the 15th of each month

Annual Return Due Date of PF : Each years on the 25th April

Return Due Date of the PF : On or before the 15th of each month
