Will Variable Pay Reflects In PF?

Vashii
Hello Seniors,

I am working in IT company and we have recently initiated and involved in PF and ESI. The management has introduced a variable pay and it affects the PF monthly contribution. I have many doubts in the salary structure. Let me explain how the salary is calculated here and then go for the doubts.

1. Basic pay is calculated at 60% of Gross pay -

2. HRA is 50% of Basic pay

3. Rest of the gross pay is Special allowance (i.e 10%)

Gross Salary = Fixed and Variable (No percentage wise calculation, just some number) (22000+4000)

Deductions:

PF - 12%

ESI - 1.75%

PT -

Theses deductions are not included in the Gross pay.

My Doubts:

1. Basic can be 60% of GP?

2. Can we separate the variable pay from PF(PF only for fixed pay can be done)? If so, LOP has to be on FP.

3. HRA - Already the basic pay is high and how come the HRA can be calculated at 50 % of Basic pay.

4. If I include the deduction amount in Gross pay, then the entire number will change. Should I do that or ignore it.

Hope I explained it clearly. Please do help me on this.
