The minimum wage can not be splitted at all. Infact there is a hearing by High court came in August, where it was said that Uniform allowances will also be considered as a part of Basic salary, thus PF will be deducted & paid by the employers on Basic+DA+Uniform allow there after. It is applicable for workers as well as staff. You can enquire about it.
