The maximum and minimum limits of Provident Fund (PF) contributions can vary by country and specific regulations. For example, in India, the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) mandates a minimum contribution of 12% of the basic salary from both the employee and employer, while there is no specified maximum limit for contributions; however, the interest on contributions is capped at a certain salary threshold (currently ₹15,000 per month for mandatory EPF). Thus, if an employee earns ₹20,000, their contribution would still be calculated on ₹15,000 for the purpose of EPF, even though they may contribute a higher percentage voluntarily.

No, the Provident Fund (PF) contribution is not directly deducted from the employee's salary. Instead, it is a statutory benefit where both the employer and employee contribute a percentage of the employee's basic salary to the Provident Fund account. The employer's contribution is a separate contribution made by the company, while the employee's portion is typically deducted from their salary before it is disbursed.
