Explanation:

Here’s the explanation for each option:

- Option 1: If a worker voluntarily contributes more than 10% of his wages, the employer is not under an obligation to match any sum above the statutory rate (presently 12%, earlier 10%). So, this is incorrect.

- Option 2: Correct Answer – The employer is not required by law to contribute more than his own share (generally 12%, or 10% for certain establishments), even if the employee contributes more voluntarily.

- Option 3: The Act is not silent; it clearly mentions that employers are not required to match excess voluntary contributions by employees.

- Option 4: Not applicable; there is a correct answer given above.
