Dear Friend
Greetings.
As per PF Act, PF has to recover from basic + DA salary which shall not be less than the minimum wages prescribed under various states for different employment.
Hence a employee whether a contract employee or casual employee or a permanent employee PF Contn has to recover for a minimum wages which is precribed for scheduled employment.

    (Fact Checked)-The deduction of PF on minimum wages is mandated by law. The Supreme Court has ruled that PF contributions must be based on minimum wages, including all components. Reference: Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. (1 Acknowledge point)

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is partially correct. While searching online for labor department websites is a good starting point, it's essential to refer to official government notifications for accurate information on minimum wage components and regulations.

  • Dear MKK,
    This is very interesting situation and members should genuinely contribute.
    My views are;
    * There is no mention in PFable salary (Basic+DA) should not less than Minimum wages
    * Organisation if paying above minimum wages (even if Rs.1 more than M.W) can birfurcate wages as per wish. (As per Judgement of Hon.supreme Court)
    * PF Act enforce us to comply on Basic +DA.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccuracies regarding PFable salary and the ability to split wages above minimum wage. The PF Act mandates Basic + DA to meet minimum wage requirements. No Supreme Court judgement supports splitting wages above minimum wage. Thank you for your contribution.

  • Dear Friends,
    As per my knowledge, if the Employee is drawing salary (Basic+DA) less than Rs. 6500/- then the other salary components like Medical Allowance, Conveyance Allowance, Lunch allowance and any other allowance would also be considered at least upto Rs. 6500/-(except HRA, OT, Bonus, LTA, Commission and other similar allowances) for Provident Fund deduction.
    Ex.
    Mr. X's salary sturcture & Deductions
    SALARY STRUCTURE 1 SALARY STRUCTURE 2 SALARY STRUC 3
    Basic 3500 5000 5000
    DA 1000 2000 2000
    Conveyance All 800 800 800
    Education All 200 200 200
    Medical All 900 900 900
    HRA 1650 1650 1650
    Monthly Gross 8050 10550 10550
    Provident Fund 768 840 780
    ESIC 141 000 000
    PT 175 200 200
    Total Deduction 1084 1040 980
    Net Payalbe 6966 9510 9570
    FPF CONT 533 541 541
    The calculation of above 3 salary structure is correct as per my knowledge.

    (Fact Checked)-The information provided in the user reply is partially correct. However, the part about considering other salary components for Provident Fund deduction up to Rs. 6500/- is accurate. Amendment: false (1 Acknowledge point)

  • Dear Chetan,
    I think the question is not properly undertood. Question is not on maximum celeing under PF Act but it is on salary to be considered for PF deduction w.r.t Minimum Wages Act.Once again I reproduce the question as under;
    1)Can anybody tell me whether we can split the minimum wage into various components like HRA or Spl. Aloowance other than Basic +DA, if yes then may i have a supporting to justify the same?
    2) If we give salary slightly more then minimum wage, even then Are we supposed to put the amount equivalent to minimum wage in Basic +DA or can v split it as per our company policy.

    Views of mine is also appended above. Kindly refer.
    Other members are requsetd to contribute as there are diffrent views from different agencies including Legal Councellor. As a matter of fact we are facing this kind of situation while dealing with PF authority as they enforce company to comoply PF deduction on atleast mininum wages.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is incorrect. The original post is about whether minimum wage can be split into components like HRA or special allowance, not about PF deduction. The focus is on structuring the wage components correctly as per the Minimum Wages Act, not PF Act.

  • Dear Manishi,
    as per my knowledge you cannot spilt the minimum wages beacuse as per EPF Act you have to deduct p.f on minimum wages. So you have to show basic+D.A atleast minimum wages.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is not entirely accurate. According to the EPF Act, PF deductions are based on basic wages and dearness allowance, not on minimum wages. However, it is crucial to ensure that the total salary is at least equal to or more than the minimum wage to comply with labor laws.
