In short, as had been laid out earlier, the SC, in its current judgment, has held that allowances which are made universally, ordinarily and necessarily to all employees across the board or to all employees in a particular category/grade will fall within the definition of 'basic wages' for the purposes of computation of provident fund contributions.
