The EPFO emphasized that it would never request payment via social media, WhatsApp, or any other platform. for any service or anything else. In such a situation, all the members are advised not to respond to any such calls or WhatsApp calls.
Employer’s share is deposited in two parts
Members of EPFO deposit 12% of their basic pay and dearness allowance into the EPFO account. In a similar vein, the employer is required to pay 12 percent of the basic salary. This 12 percent consists of two parts. Out of 12 percent, the first part of 8.33 percent goes to the Employees’ Pension Account (EPS) and the remaining 3.67 percent goes to the EPF account. There is a provision for the employee to get this amount on retirement. But you can remove it even during the job if needed.
