Is Overtime Included in Total Cash Wages for Annual Returns? Seeking Guidance

Dear respected seniors, I have a question regarding the overtime amount for workers. While preparing the annual returns for minimum wages, the Payment of Wages Act, and CLRA Act annual returns, should the overtime amount be considered in the total wages paid in cash?

Also, my area labor enforcement officer is requiring me to submit the annexure along with these annual returns to inspect the calculation of mandays and total wages paid in cash. If there is an ideal format for calculating this, please share it with me.

Kindly advise me on this matter so that I can act accordingly.

Regards

Everything is available on the Labour Return Portal Shram Suvidha. Yes, the allowances that are considered for ESIC payment should be shown in the labour return as well. Make the ESIC contribution record as master and go ahead.
