With respect to your second question – as per clause 6 of EPF and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and read in conjunction with the Minimum Wage Limit defined; an employer is under no obligation to match the employee's contribution if the same works out to more than 12 percent of employee Basic + DA.

However, any contribution by an employee upto 12 percent (10 percent in respect of classified industries) of Basic + DA (even if it exceeds Rs. 780), needs to be matched by the employer.

Hope your queries are answered.
