EPF and ESIC Deductions

As far as EPF is concerned, it should be deducted on Basic + DA/VDA + Food Conc., if any. As far as ESIC is concerned, it will be deducted on the gross salary (inclusive of all allowances). The ceiling for ESIC should be Rs. 15,000 per month, inclusive of all allowances. As far as EPF is concerned, up to Rs. 6,500, the deduction of EPF is compulsory.

Thanks & Regards,

Can we add a mobile allowance to the gross components of the appointment letter? How can we deduct it during the salary process? Please guide me in this regard.

Thank you.

In a new company, they have prepared an appointment letter. However, the new benefit being provided by the management is a mobile SIM card. Currently, the management is informing us that we have negotiated a salary of Rs. 10,000/- per month with an employee. Now, we are required to include the amount of the SIM card benefit in the gross salary of Rs. 15,000.

Including Mobile SIM Card in Salary Structure

Is there any issue if we include the mobile amount, which the company is paying to the employee, Rs. 250/- per month, in the salary structure? Will this pose any problems with ESI as the gross salary increases by adding the mobile bill of Rs. 250/- per month? Can you please provide your suggestions?

Thank you.

Our management is not accepting any CTC. They are saying that when we discuss the employee's salary, it should only include the Gross amount. Within the Gross amount, we have to account for the mobile allowance/SIM card benefit provided by our company. However, I am concerned about whether including the mobile reimbursement in the Gross Salary could pose a problem. Mobile allowance is not technically a part of the salary that we intend to reflect in the Gross Salary.

Question on Mobile Allowance in Gross Salary

My question is: Can we categorize the mobile allowance under Gross salary? During my conversation with management, they mentioned that the mobile allowance is considered a benefit included in the Gross salary and therefore a part of the total salary. Sir, please advise me on this matter. Is it acceptable to proceed in this manner? Are there any statutory issues, such as ESI implications, associated with this approach?

Thank you.

Sorry, it is not mobile reimbursement; it is a mobile allowance that we are including in other allowances. This amount will be fixed during the salary generation period and will not be deducted from the employee's salary. However, can we show the mobile allowance as part of other allowances? Is there any statutory problem with this?
