What is Pension Contribution in Epf Passbook
Pension contribution column that you find in epf passbook is the amount contributed by your employer. Your employer contributes 12% of basic plus dearness allowance. Out of this 12%, 8.33% goes to pension account i.e., Employees Pension Scheme (EPS) & 3.67% will be credited to EPF account.
Example: Assume Basic and DA as Rs.15000. 12% of 15000 is Rs.1800. Out of this Rs.1800, Rs.1250 goes to EPS account, whereas Rs.550 will be credited to EPF account along with your contribution of Rs.1800. You can find more information in my Epf contribution post.
Total monthly EPF Contribution of both employee and employer = Rs.1800 + Rs.550 = Rs2350/-
Total monthly EPS Contribution by your employer = Rs.1250/-
