Statutory taxes Base for calculation

This discussion explores whether statutory taxes like PT, PF, ESI, and LWF should be calculated based on the earned salary or the gross salary. The core question is whether to use the full monthly salary (e.g., £50,000) or the actual earned amount (e.g., £30,000) when these differ due to absences or other reasons. The consensus leans towards using the gross salary for taxation purposes, with deductions considered separately.
