Currently there is no monetary ceilings on the employer contribution under EPF with only ceiling being that it would be 12% of the salary of the employee member.

The Finance Minister very clearly seems to have focused on empowering the ‘Make In India’ initiative by removing customs and excise duty exemptions on a variety of goods. The thrust seems to be more on electronics, hardware and the infrastructure industry where duty exemption has been provided to imported parts and components for manufacture of chargers/adapters, speakers
