Hi all,

It's Samir again. Now, I am facing a different problem, and I have a doubt. I need your help to solve it.

1. In order to get exemption from PF & ESIC, do we have to put basic & DA above 7500, or should the whole monthly salary, including allowances, be more than 7500?

2. Can anybody suggest good allowances that we can offer in our BPO that:
a. Do not invite fringe benefit tax to the company, and
b. Are tax-savers for employees?

I have already included some such as HRA, Medical, Conv...

Thanks.

Hi Samir,
Hi All,
Its Samir again, Now I am facing different problem actually I have doubt,
And I need your help to solve,
1. In order to get expemtion from PF & ESIC ,
do we have to put basic &DA above 7500.
OR
the whole monthly salary ie with allowances should be more than 7500.

If your monthly payroll exceeds Rs 7500/- ESIC wouldn’t be applicable.
You cannot get an exemption on PF which is a statutory requirement.
2. and can any body suggest good allowances which we can give in which (ours is a BPO)
a. It does not invite fringe benefit tax to the company &
b. And tax saver for employee's too.
few of it I have kept like ( HRA, Medical, Conv..) .

Suggest – please read the topic FBT implications on salary components under Compensation & Benefits..
Have a great day..
Cheers,

Hi samir, Up to Rs.7500 (Gross salary ) ESI should be paid. In case of PF 6500 is the limit i.e as per the act employer can limit his contribution at 6500 (Basic+DA). Shanmugam

Dear Friend,

Regarding the Provident Fund: The employment strength of 20 or more is at the management's discretion to cover or not. However, most big industries/establishments may voluntarily approach the P.F. authorities to cover their organization. This will also attract the IT saving. The ceiling limit of P.F. is Rs. 6500/- on Basic + D.A.

Regarding the Employees State Insurance: The coverage will depend on the location of the ESI dispensary and local office. The ceiling limit of ESI is Rs. 7500/- on the total gross salary.
