Hi Gowri,

For EPF, the contributions are payable on maximum wage ceiling of Rs. 15000/-. If the employee prefers to contribute more, can pay at a higher rate and in such case employer is not under any obligation to pay at such higher rate.  
To pay contribution on higher wages, a joint request from Employee and employer is required . In such case employer has to pay administrative charges on the higher wages (wages above 15000/-).  
For an International Worker, wage ceiling of 15000/- is not applicable.

For more details regarding this, you can also refer to:
