Generally speaking, the splitting up of wages/salary payable to employees into basic and other allowances is a subject matter of collective bargaining on wage determination and wage revision. Even in such negotiations, the types of various allowances and their relative proportions to gross wages are determined by various factors such as the extent of the indirect financial commitments incurred by the employer towards social security obligations and other fringe benefits, periodic direct financial implications on account of the raise in the cost of living, additional and special expenses to be incurred by the employees by the nature of their duties, place of employment, etc. Washing allowance is one such allowance payable to the employees on account of the compulsion to wear a uniform. To my knowledge, there are no statutory prescriptions.

As per my knowledge, there are no acts demanding the necessity of paying a uniform allowance. However, it is stated in the ESI Act that washing allowance is a sum paid to defray special expenses entailed by the nature of employment, and therefore, this amount does not constitute wages.
I have read that until November 1995, there was a prescribed uniform for public sector units (PSUs), but it was decided to discontinue it thereafter. Nevertheless, the practice of paying the uniform allowance to employees continued, treating it as exempted pay. Since March 2010, a proper dress code has been established for employees who receive the uniform allowance.
