Minimum Wages - Does This Calculate Only BASIC + DA

Hi Seniors !
I am working for a MSME manufacturing unit, where we have staff + workers which is in Maharashtra.
I would like to know if minimum wages criteria is followed -
Do you have to consider this minimum wages amount only in BASIC + DA. For example, if minimum wages for skilled is Rs.10600/-, do we have to consider basis + DA as Rs.10600/-, and deduct PF on this amount, or consider less under BASIC + DA and adjust the balance amount in other allowances. This is because many would prefer to take more in take home at present, rather than accumulating in PF.
Thanks,
LISHA.

you have not clarified whether you are paying only Minimum Wages stipulated under the Act or paying more than the Minimum Wages.
If you are paying only Minimum Wages, you have to pay EPF Contribution on the same.

you will not bifurcate Basic + Da as per your convenient. It will be breach of Law.

We are paying more than the minimum wages. Also, is the same law applicable to both, staff & workers ?

You are paying your workers or staff more than minimum wages but you can't bifurcate Basic + Da ( Normal Earning).

Also, is the same law applicable to both, staff & workers ? Please frame your question correctly-Same law means what?

Dear Srinath,
you have not clarified whether you are paying only Minimum Wages stipulated under the Act or paying more than the Minimum Wages - We are paying more than the minimum wages.
Minimum wages is applicable only to workers, or for both, i.e. staff and workers?
Thanks,

Dear Srinath,
Your answers do not seem to match my questions. If I could, then I would not have raised these questions.
