From a PF mechanism perspective, the place an worker grew to become a member of a PF scheme previous to 1 September 2014, the entire contribution made in the direction of PF is bifurcated between PF contribution and pension contribution. An worker’s contribution is totally deposited in PF, whereas the employer’s contribution is bifurcated between PF contribution and pension contribution.
