Minimum Wages and Salary Calculation in Maharashtra
Minimum wages of Maharashtra are as follows - Basic = 5400, and Special allowance is fixed at 1004.
My question is: should the basic + special allowance be used to calculate ESI & PF together, or should they be separate?
Now, to calculate the salary breakdown for a take-home amount of 6000/-. Which of the two options below is correct?
Monthly Salary Breakup - 1
