Hi Ayona,
After gone through all the responses i summarise the same :
1. Minimumwage is differe in differen states
2. Minimum wage is also differen for different position (un skill, skill, semi skill, matriculate, graduate (white colour job)etc)
3. Any basic should notbe less than Minimum wage (i.e Basic+DA), here in pvt sector you will rarely found DA in any organisation.
4. after fixing the Minimum basic you can put other amount in any category (like HRA-it depend on City but in any case it should not be more than 60%, Transport maximum of Rs.800/- like this.
5. as well as Bonus is concern it should not be part of gross, but could be count in CTC .
If still have any query, you can mail me () or call me on +91-9818067206.
Hope this will clear your ideas.
Regards

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains some inaccuracies. The basic pay should not be less than the minimum wage, and DA is relevant in determining the basic pay. HRA should not exceed 50-60% depending on the city. Bonus can be part of the gross salary. For further details, please refer to the Minimum Wages Act and relevant HR management books.

  • Siva Sir is correct. Minimum wages include Basic+DA & it is different in diff. states & it also differs according to the type of industry. For eg Auto industry has higher wage rates in comparison to food industry.

  • Deara Chirta ,
    Mr.T.Sivasankaran is absolutely right while stating the minimum basic as per law he is clearly stateed that the Minimum Basic = Minimum wages+D.A. I have gone through the U.P. & Haryana state ruling about the Minimum basic, as per the guidelines you can not keep basic low then minimum wages.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains incorrect information. The minimum basic wage is not solely based on minimum wages and DA; it should also comply with the statutory rules regarding the minimum basic pay. The mention of U.P. & Haryana state ruling is not accurate in this context.

  • Hi,The Basic should not be less than the minimum wages which is different from state to state because the minimum wages act is implemented on the all organisations/shops/Bpos and officeses.No body can not pay the less than amount of minimum wages .for Pf deduction : Pf should be deduct on the the minimum wages as per the supriem court decision. Basic wages= Minimum wages .For the Payroll all the component of salary should not be more than the basic wages. Basic will be the higher part of the salary it should be 50% or 40 % of the Gross salary.Regards,Jalaj

  • Dear Friend
    Please follow following principle while bifurcating CTC
    60% of Gross should be basic
    40% of basic should be HRA ( incase of metro cities) other wise depending of class of cities
    remaining amount you can put different heads prevailing in your company. there is no any statutory obligation ( such as all purpose allowances, conveyance allowances, medical allowances, washing allowances etc)
    But generally PF authorities will check that 60% of gross should be basic component
    Rest of you may be aware such as PF , ESI , Professional tax etc

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains inaccurate information regarding the statutory obligation for basic pay and the percentage allocation for components like HRA. The correct allocation is 50-60% as basic pay. The user should revise their understanding of PF regulations.

  • Hi,
    Every Organization has it own Policies of the Saalry Break-Up.
    If you are formulating a new policy for salary break up then keeping basic 40 % you can divide the rest of the amount under various components to arrive at the 100 % of the amount.
    Eg.
    Basic 40%
    HRA 10%
    Office wear allow 10%
    Conveyance 20%
    Medical 10%
    Other 10%
    Or various combinations for the various Salary components.
    This Break up can be created for the salaried employee / s only and not for the wage paid employee / s (They can be paid as per the Minimum Wages Act)

According to the latest laws and best practices, there are statutory rules regarding minimum basic pay as a percentage of the total CTC, and it varies by state. It's important to adhere to these guidelines to ensure compliance with labor laws.
