Is the employer's portion of EPF or ESIC payable to the employee? It's a statutory liability of the employer to the department for PT purposes. For all salary components, including wages/salary, basic/DA, special allowance, HRA, TA, conveyance, and overtime, are to be calculated.

contribution of employee is deducted from his gross earnings. PT is deducted on gross earnings before any deduction.
