For example,

PF calculation if EB (Earned Basic) is more than 15000

As this calculation was based on the salary which is more than ₹15000 hence PF is calculated as 15000*12/100 = ₹1800.

PF calculation if the EB (Earned Basic) is less than 15000

For this, you need to follow all the steps mentioned above for the payroll process, but only the PF amount will change & it will be calculated on Earned Basic (EB) 11500.

EB 11500 * 12/100 = PF Amount 1416 ₹.

Step 10: If you want to view or make changes in the PF settings you should go to the ‘Settings’ menu, under the ‘Payroll’ tab, select ‘Pay Settings’ and then select the ‘PF Setting’ option. You can make the desired changes here and click on the ‘Save’ button.
