Dear Professionals, When an employee is paid subsistence allowance during the period of suspension pending enquiry, what are the deductions we need to proceed with - both ESI & PF or only ESI. Pls clarify.

There are two view points. One is that Subsistence allowance is not wages/salaries hence PF is not to be deducted.
Supreme Court upheld that subsistence allowance forms part of wages hence ESI is deductable.
