EPFO ne mandatory PF wage ceiling ko **₹15,000** se badhakar **₹25,000** kar diya hai. Iska matlab hai ki ab aapki salary se har mahine PF ka amount zyada katega, jisse take-home pay kam ho jayegi lekin retirement corpus badh jayega.
EPFO ka naya order kya hai?
Government ne EPFO ke rules mein bada badlav kiya hai. September 17, 2026 se statutory wage ceiling ko ₹15,000 se hike karke ₹25,000 kar diya gaya hai. Iska asar seedha aapki October ki salary slip par dikhega.
Pocket par kya impact padega?
Ab tak, agar kisi ki basic salary ₹15,000 se upar thi, toh PF contribution sirf ₹15,000 par calculate hota tha, yaani ₹1,800 ka deduction. Lekin ab calculation ₹25,000 par hogi, jisse contribution badhkar ₹3,000 ho jayega. Seedhe-seedhe aapki in-hand salary mein ₹1,200 ki kami aayegi.
Kya sabki salary kam hogi?
Nahi, ye sirf un employees ke liye hai jinki company abhi tak sirf statutory limit (₹15,000) par PF kaat rahi thi. Agar aapki company pehle se hi aapki full basic pay par PF deduct kar rahi thi, toh aapki salary mein koi change nahi aayega.
Long-term ka fayda samjho!
Salary kam hona shuru mein bura lag sakta hai, lekin iska bada fayda aapke retirement corpus mein hoga. Employers ko bhi ab badhe hue base par apna contribution match karna padega, jisse aapka total PF aur pension fund tezi se grow karega.
PRO TIP: Apni next salary slip zarur check karna aur HR se confirm kar lena ki aapki company ne actual basic salary par PF deduct karna shuru kiya hai ya sirf statutory limit badhayi hai.
