Dear All,

Since the latest limit for PF is Rs. 15,000, PF contributions stand at 12% of basic and DA. I am interested in understanding if there is a recommended percentage of basic salary to the overall Cost to Company (CTC). For instance, should the basic salary constitute 40% or 50% of the CTC? Your assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Please help.

As per PF notification, Basic should be 55% to 60%, not less than this. Pl make sure when you prepare CTC, basic should be in above criteria.

It appears that a lot of changes may be brought about in the labor legislations including ESI and others. I came across a PF directive in Rajasthan asking inspectors to compile a list of all who have deducted PF on Basic Salary of 50% or less of CTC. Though there is no legislation on how much the Basic salary should be as a % of CTC, the above could be indicative of the probability of legislation coming about in the future. Keeping Basic salary above 51% of CTC should be fine.

There is no specific direction in the act that a certain percentage should be kept for basic salary, but bifurcation is done only on the basis of taxation liability. However, it is the accepted and factual view that the basic salary should not be less than the prescribed minimum wage of the state.

Dear Mr. Arpan Ji,

There is no specific percentage of basic, etc., for PF. But there is only a notification stating, "Minimum Wages should not be split," i.e. (Basic + VDA) as notified by the appropriate Government.
