12% of the basic salary
no!
In India, gross salary typically refers to the total earnings of an employee before any deductions, including basic salary, allowances, bonuses, and other benefits. The employer's contribution to the Provident Fund (PF) is not included in the gross salary; it is considered a separate benefit. Consequently, while the employee's own PF contribution is deducted from their gross salary, the employer's contribution is an additional amount provided by the employer.
It depends. If the employers contribution of 12% is included in your annual salary component (also called CTC) then yes, it is legal. For ex: If as per your offer letter - Monthly Salary = Rs. 10000 and Annual Salary = 1,34,400/- Then the employer contribution of 12% of your salary is included in your annual salary. So, if the employer deducts 2400 from your monthly salary it is legal. However, if your monthly salary = Rs. 10,000 and Annual Salary = Rs. 1,20,000/- and still your employer deducts 2400 from your salary it is illegal

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.
