What is the Salary definition under PF ACT. If any employee hetting salary more than RS.6500 then are they covered under PF ACT ? . For people getting salary less than Rs. 6500 ( For example - Basic 3000 , HRA 2500 and Conveyance 500 ) Whether PF contribution 12 % is on basic or on total amount of Rs. 6000 . Please clarify

Dear Mr. Govindarajan,
For the purposes of PF ACt, 'salary' means only the basic only.
Basic+HRA+Conveyance would be called Emoluments (and not Salary).
For the purposes of ESI gross earnings i.e. emoluments have to be taken into account.
I hope this clarifies your doubt.
