PF Contribution On Minimum Wage

vijay$g
Hello friends,
We are running a facility management co. and are primarily in to housekeeping and maintenance. Presently many of our staff are employed on minimum wages. Now my question is like this;
Can minimum wage be broken down further in to basic + Hra. Since PF is not applicable on HRA can an exemption be sought? Is there any court ruling which will be able to support this claim.
Illustration: The current minimum wage is Rs. 150/-
Is it legal to have basic Rs. 115/- + HRA Rs. 35/-
Please advice

Please check out with minimum Basic Wages to be paid to workers ( DA/ Special Allowance will vary according to Government Notification )

So wahatever BASIC + DA prescribed by authority not to bifurcate the same further.

Because someone may come up with an Idea of Bifurcate 150 Rs as 1 ( Basic +DA ) + 149 HRA.

Request you to not to exploit the workers.

During may PF inspection, it have been observed that bifurcation of minimum wages can not be done. PF has to be deposited on minimum wages.

Thanks for the response. However, Mr. Prashant let us not make it a moral stand. If you can throw some light on the basic questions, with facts (if any) whether Minimum wage can be broken up into Basic + HRA

Dear Freinds,
Please give complete picture regarding the Minimun Wage and P.F. I am explaining as below please correct me if i am wrong;
1. Minimun Wage, is pescribed as per the Govt. Notification issued( varies State by State). The Basic and the points are given and per day wage rate is given.
For those who are earning Daily, We can contribute the EPF as per daily wage, but what about the monthly salaried.
For. EG. Daily wages is 183 Rs.
So monthly 4758 ( 183*26) should be the basic wage for monthly salary.
And also please provide me the link where it is given that P.F. should be paid on Minimum Wages.
Regards
