Sir,
The issue was pending since long. Now, the appropriate Govt. has issued the notifications, thus ending uncertainty in the matter.

Hi,
There are few practical questions while implementing this policy.
1) If basic salary of an Employee "A" is less than Rs.15000/-, How do we need to contribute for EPS ? is it 8.33% of the basic pay or Minimum of Rs.1000/- ?
2) If an Employee "B"s total gross salary is Rs.40,000/- and Basic is only Rs.10,000/- (25% of gross is basic) rest of the amount adjusted towards Special Allowance (excluding HRA,Conveyance, PF), how do we need to calculate the pensionable wage ? Do we need to change the calculations from the existing basic of Rs.10,000 to Rs.15000 ?
3) Is there any rule regarding what percentage of total salary should be basic ?
Experts kindly advice
Regards,
Jyothi
