I think this is terrible news. According to this article, the price to rent a room in Sydney for the night will be up to $350 by 2027, and $426 by 2033. I get it's great if you own a hotel, but for normal tourism and folks who want to travel Sydney with their families, this will be unaffordable. Not to mention I think it'll increase vacation rentals. What do you think?

Hi Fishes,

I've transferred my PF from Wipro to Cognizant where in it the Employee's PF shows around 83k but the Employer's PF shows only around 27k.

If the employee and employer have to contribute 12% then both should be equal to 83k isn't it?

Please advise where I am going wrong.
