even though te circular intends to include various allowances within the definition of basic wages under Sec.2(b), the contributions will be computed on the wage limit of Rs.6500/-p.m only and hence, it may have no sweeping effect from the employer point of view.Howver,HRA,O.T,commission and bonus will stand excluded.

Dear All,
There is a proposal to increase the ceiling amount from Rs.6500/- to Rs.10,000/- and with a minimum pension of Rs.1,000/-. However the latest circular does not talk about the increase in ceiling amount, means that if the basic amount is more than Rs.6500/- then the latest circular does not have any impact. If the basic amount is less than Rs.6500/- then the allowances as noted in the latest circular will be considered upto a ceiling of Rs.6500/- only to arrive at the PF amount.
