Hello,
I want to know, is PF deduction applicable on Mess Allowance/Canteen Allowance. One of my friends working in the same area has suggested changing my text from Mess Allowance to Other Allowance. Is this appropriate? Please advise.

Mess, Fooding or Tiffin allowance are part of Basic Wages, hence PF is applicable on such allowance. Pl do not pay any amount under the head 'Other Allowance' .
