Is Minimum Wages Rule For Workers Only

Dear Seniors,
As far as i Know as per minimum wages act the minimum wages defined for a particular state can't be broaken in to Basic/DA + Allowances. If It is X figure it has to be paid in Basic + DA only.
But does the rule Apply for the Staff Employees of an organisation coz as seen in some of the org. workers are getting the minimum wages as per rule but the salary of some of the staff employees is bifurcated in a way that the Basic + Da goes even less than the minimum wages provided for the state.
Is It Right to Do it.
or the employers are just taking benefit out of it.
Please Clarify.
Regards,
Rahul

dear rahul
yes you are correct some employer are doing it and bifurcating minimum wages in allowance to save provident fund share and other benifits of employee.it should not be done and supreme cout has given verdict on it ,not to bifurcate wages to save P F.in case of staff basic is less than minimum wages is totally illegal.
