Hi all, Recently I got to learn from this cite that the EPF deductions can not be on any basic pay that is below the minimum wages. I have also read the orders of the High Court and the EPF Deptt. in this regard. In my Industry, there are few employees falling under this category. My Top Management is of the view that we can merge any other allowance of the employee Salary to increase his Basic Salary, without actually effecting any increase in his salary. My own view is that once we have fixed any allowance we cannot decrease the same, hence we should increase a bit of their salary to correct the things. Please guide me in this matter.
