Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for housekeeping service firms. It explains that wages are considered direct expenses, while salaries are indirect. Furthermore, it details how employee PF contributions are treated as company expenses, and the employer's contribution is classified as a liability owed to the government.

Wages are direct and salaries are indirect cause they are not related to production or revenue generators.

the format is like this

By Basic salary

By allowances

By EPF/EPS/ESIC a/c

By Admin charges towards EPF

===========================================================

To EPF/EPS/ESIC payable

1) Salary will be Indirect expenses
2) PF Contribution towards employees will be expenses to Company
PF Contribution of employees will be Liability to pay in Govt Account.
