Hi, With reference to your above query, actually basic amount varies according to present minimum wages, usually you can consider 30% to 55% as basic amount.

Thanks a ton Nagesh and sailakshmi... but i still have doubt. Mine asking this question was related to one of our outsource agency. They are giving approx. 15K salary to their employees and bifurcation of salary shows 1K rupees as basic salary which somehow i feel this is wrong but I dont have any substantial proof to ask him that you should pay minimum 30% or 50% of gross as basic.
