Pl update.

Harmit Singh Arora

No, we cannot do that. As per the Minimum Wages Act, 1948
This Basic will be fixed for a period of Five approx by Govt. and only the DA will vary from Apr' of every year as they take the average of DA points for the previous Calendar year and fix it for the coming Apr'to Mar' financeial year.
If you split the Minimum wages by HRA etc then the PF contribution from the Management side will be reduced, which the Govt. will accept.
So finally Minimum wages should not split the Basic and DA to HRA, COnveyance allowance etc.

hi mr harmit singh arora
good day.how are you?
yes you can bifurcate the minimum wages into HRA/CONV/Washing Allowances etc .but the gross salaries /wages should not be less than minimum wages. In this connection go through the recent judgment of Punjab & Haryana High Court in CWP NO. 15443/2009(O&M),Dt./- 01-02-2011 in case titled " Asstt. Provident Fund Commissioner , Gurgaon vs M/s G 4 S Security Services (India)Ltd . and Another " reported in 2011 LLR 316.

Dear Mr Arora,
We first need to understand that "Minimum Wages" are laid down by the state govt. These are normally reviewed and revised twice a year.
All other allowances such as EPF, ESI, Gratuity, Bonus, HRA, Uniform Allowance, Travelling Allowance etc are over and above this amount and are calculated as a laid down percentage of the 'Minimum Wage'.
Hence, you cannot split minimum wages.
Should you have further doubts I shall be glad to answer your queries.
Warm regards and good luck for your business.
Aye.

Dear All,
Mr. Dhingra is absolutely right. Mimimum wages Act does not define bifercation part into various allow. and PF consider only basic + Da for computation. they have no jurisdiction for minimum wages act.
But Hr practitioners must refer local state labour office for clarification in this matter as in HP. Labour commissioner had allowed only 5% HRA from minimum wages and this had been communicated to PF office.

Hi,
OT has never been on basic and DA.It is always to be paid on ordinary rate of wages which means all components of salary .

mR, ANIL IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN CALCULATING THE OT. ALSO MIN WAGES CAN BE BIFERCATED BUT THE COMPONENT WILL BE LIMITED (PLS. GO THROUGH JUDGEMENT COPY)
MIN WAGE CAN BE BIFERCATED INTO BASIC, DA, HRA
