04 May 2010 Dear Mr. Ramesh Krishnan,
I got your reply but my question was different. to be very specific, i wanted to know whether there is any slab or ceiling to be considered as minimum amount as basic pay which can be considered for ascertaining pf contribution for an employee whose gross monthly salary is 6500 as per the existing minimum wages rules in Delhi.
is is permissible to fix basic as any amount like 500 or 1000 and rest amount be structured as DA, HRA, medical allowance, commuting allowance etc.?
pls. help me out to get clarity on the issue.
Regadrs,
