Leave Payments and Deductions: Should PF and ESIC Be Applied to Earned Leave?

My organization provides leave with wages in CTC. Therefore, if an employee works for 20 days, we grant them 1 day of leave. According to my manager, the payment for leave will be disbursed in the same month the employee has earned it. I have a question: should I deduct PF and ESIC from the leave payment? We create separate sheets for leave payments in addition to the regular salary.

In Bonus, earned leave wages, C.L., and Gratuity payments will not deduct EPF & ESI. Deduction is a false statement by your manager. PF & ESI should only be deducted from the salary and not from other payments.

We are a manpower supplier. One of our clients has requested to pay the leave salary and bonus on a monthly basis. We would like to know whether the PF and ESI would be applicable on monthly leave wages and monthly bonus. If yes, please give us the details of the same.

If an employee is admitted to ESIC for treatment and takes ESIC leave, but ESIC pays some salary according to the ESIC leave days, is PF deduction applicable for ESIC leave salary? If we want to deduct PF from ESIC leave salary, is it permissible or not?
