Understanding Haryana's Revised Minimum Wage: Do I Deduct EPF on the Full Amount?

Amit_chobarla
Hi all, cite HR Members,

Please guide on the notification of Haryana govt. on revised minimum wage (notification no. - No. 3/42l83-3 Lab.) It provides the minimum wage all-inclusive. Does this mean I have to deduct EPF on the full amount as the minimum wage, or can I bifurcate it into Basic + DA + HRA and pay EPF on Basic + DA?

Thanks in advance. Please reply as soon as possible; it's very urgent.

Hi Amit,

The Government of Haryana has merged Basic and Dearness Allowance in the new notification. So, you are required to keep minimum wages as Basic as the authority has clearly instructed not to bifurcate minimum wages in the notification. With this, you have to pay PF on Minimum wages by keeping Basic salary. The authority may issue another notification in January 2016 if there is any variance in CPI points. Please find enclosed the revised notification for your reference.
