Basic Wages/EPF

sujatharanjit
When the Govt. says basic minimum wages does that mean basic and the D.A. or is it the basic alone. Is EPF claculated on the basic alone or on the Basic and D.A. together.

Dear Sujatharanjit,
Whenever Govt. says about minimum wages it means that Basic + DA and PF is calculated on Basic Salary + DA.

Dear Mr Pankaj,
Don't contradict your own statement in two different threads. Please check your answer in the Thread " I need urgent help ...". It's either PF on basic or Basic + DA. Please clarify?

Dear All,
PF is deducted on basic salary plus DA only. PF deduction does not cover HRA/CCA/ Transport allowence/ lunch allowence/OT/ bonus and any payment of like natue including cash awards. However leave encashments attract PF deductions.

I am satisfied with pon 1965's answer
PF is on Basic + DA + Cash value for food (if any) + Retaining allownace (if any)
No any other item will include in it.

Sunita,
Ofcourse, arrears of basic and DA components to be included for PF calculation. No confusion on this.
