Thanks a lot for your reply.In the act, nowhere it is mentioned whether it is applicable for basic or gross. The bottom-line is to convince my friend’s company or produce some doc showing that it is basic that they should consider and not gross although I am quite sure as also you have suggested that it is basic that has to be referred. Looking forward to your help
