A.Dear Client,

If there is no official notification or circular from the competent authority, such as the EPFO, an employer is not permitted to alter the percentage or amount of PF contribution for an employee. In this scenario, as an EPF member, you have the option to lodge a complaint with the competent authority or Regional PF Commissioner. This can be done online through the EPF i-Grievance Management System (https://epfigms.gov.in/) using your UAN or by submitting an offline application at the Regional PF Commissioner's office to address the grievance.
