Dear Friends, The circular issued by EPFO about not allowing employers to bifurcate minimum wages against the judgment of P & H HC has been strongly opposed by employers. Representations have been sent to EPFO requesting the withdrawal or amendment of the circular.
It is important to note that the circular represents an interpretation of the law and not a final verdict. No circular or order from any Government Department will supersede the High Court judgment, at least in the states of Punjab and Haryana, until the judgment is either overruled or set aside by the Supreme Court.

Let us consider it as information for the people who are splitting the minimum wages to reduce the amount towards PF contribution and stop such practices hereafter. Thanks to Manjeet for sharing the notification.

Does this mean that the basic salary in any case cannot be less than the minimum wages as decided by the government? Rajendra Jadhav.
