Why is an amount of ₹500 computed for Provident Fund administration charges when calculating Provident Fund arrears?

Created by Product Content Team, Modified on Fri, 15 Mar at 1:19 PM by Product Content Team


A Provident Fund (PF) is a government-managed, mandatory retirement savings scheme used to provide employees with financial security for their retirement.


In compliance with statutory obligations, the minimum Provident Fund administration charges are set at either ₹500 or 0.5% of the basic Provident Fund amount, whichever is greater.

Please refer to the attached statutory requirement for Provident Fund administration charges. This obligation is applicable even when PF arrears are processed.
