Dear friends,
There cannot be any doubt about it, EPF on VDA is very much applicable for both employee's subscription and employer's contribution, ofcourse overall ceiling will apply. This is because it is nothing but a part of DA only though the formula is linked to CPI.

From India, Bangalore
Yes PF should be diducted on Basic+DA.
Generally thr tarm Basic Salary is inclusive of Actual Basic + Veriable Darenes Allw, The Minimum Wage Labour Department
Declares is also inclusive of Actual Basic + Veriable Darenes Allw
It means, if the salary of a workman is same with the minimum wage declared by Govt., then PF will be diducted on the
total salary.

From India
Dear Hr friends
At present the Enforcement officers are giving instruction to recover PF for total salary (up to Rs.6500.00 PF ceiling) execept House rent allowance.
This is for your information
