Employee Contribution to Provident Fund and ECR upload process

[Premanand Krishnamurthy]

Dear Payroll & HR experts:

How can we show increased employee PF contribution in the ECR upload process?
IF the employee is on a higher pay bracket and wants to increase his PF contribution, can we increase it ? If so how do we show this increase without affecting the ECR validation process in the ECR tool.

Thanks
