EPF Wage Ceiling Raised to ₹25,000: Impact on Salary, PF & Pension
The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) wage ceiling has been increased to ₹25,000 per month, raising the maximum salary on which employee and employer contributions are calculated. This change boosts the contribution base for both PF and pension, affecting retirement savings and potentially increasing monthly deductions for higher‑earning workers, while also expanding the pensionable salary ceiling.
The EPF wage ceiling is now ₹25,000 per month, up from the previous limit. This means:
- Employee and employer PF contributions are calculated on a higher salary base.
- Pension benefits will be computed on a larger salary figure, potentially increasing future payouts.
- Monthly PF deductions may rise for those earning above the old ceiling.
