Dear All,
Though the definition of "Basic Wages" under PF Act is
(b) "basic wages" means all emoluments which are earned by an employee while on duty or 6*[ on leave or on holidays with wages in either case] in accordance with the terms of the contract of employment and which are paid or payable in cash to him, but does not include--
(i) the cash value of any food concession;
(ii) any dearness allowance (that is to say, all cash payments by whatever name called paid to an employee on account of a rise in the cost of
living), house-rent allowance, overtime allowance, bonus, commission or any other similar allowance payable to the employee in respect of his
employment or of work done in such employment;
(iii) any presents made by the employer;
My question is Company has provided canteen facility & subsidised for Rs. for 32 per day per employee. Can payment of canteen subsidy extended by Employer is under Preview of Basic Wages.

Rahul
