I am J. Raja Moahmed, working as an HR Assistant. I have a small doubt regarding PF & ESI deductions.

For a Gross Salary of Rs. 10,000, the breakdown is as follows:
- Basic: Rs. 4000
- HRA: Rs. 2000
- Conveyance: Rs. 800
- Medical Allowance: Rs. 800
- Special Allowance: Rs. 2400

My doubt is whether deducting PF from Basic is correct, and if deducting ESI from Gross is also correct. Is this method accurate? Please advise on the correct method.

Dear Raja, Firstly check current Minimum Wage of your company location (State) and then make Salary break-up.

i think PF is calculated from Basic & all other allowances excluding HRA.... (Kindly check) & ESI is calculated from Gross only.

PF is to be recovered from basic payable & Other allowances paid, Only exemption is on Payment of HRA.

Dear All,

Please find PF and ESIC deduction calculation below.

PF - PF is always deducted on Basic+VDA+Food allowance.

ESIC - ESIC is deducted on Gross wages/salary (Gross salary/wages include Basic+VDA+Food allowance).

Thanks & Regards,
