In short, this notification says that don't split Minimum Wages (Basic + DA) while calculating PF contribution. Basic wages or PF applicable wages. It means minimum PF applicable wages must equal to minimum wages (Basic + DA) or can be more than minimum wages.

Dear Parisa It indicates that Basic+DA for PF department should not be lesser than Minimum Wages pertaining to that region. If Basic+DA is above Minimum Wages then there is no problem. Regards

Yeah you are rite. Once again it depends upon management. Even if Basic+DA is above 6500 if MGMT agrees then contribution shall be on full basic

Hi Parisa,

Of course! That's exactly right. Once again, there are bright chances that even HR will play a major role in making those policies. In small organizations, directors will make policies. In larger organizations, while making policies, even HR will be part of the same.

Hi, there is no definition in PF Act, and as in the notification, the definition used for basic wages is with regard to the Oxford Dictionary. So, it does not apply and can be challenged.

Jeevarathnam brother HRD is not for this; rather, they are for policy-making with regard to management and labor. So, think higher.

Dear Mr. Parisa,

Good to find the minimum wages split details. The copy can be used for contractors to inform them not to split the minimum wages to reduce the contributions from the employer's side. Since the recent judgment (Punjab & Haryana Judgment), the split has been kept in abeyance. Therefore, until the clearance of the judgment, we can use/apply the aforementioned judgment sent by you.

Thank you very much.
