Dear All
I had recently filed my problems yet not get any answer. Again I want to say that in our Company recently P.F. Inspector has made visit regarding to check P.F. returns like Challans, 12AForm 5/10, Form 9, Form 2(EPS) & other related forms along with Muster Register & Salary Register. In which he makes excused that 50% of minimum wages is not allowed in PF. Our Co. is giving 50% basic & 50% other allowances like Fixed HRA, Transportation, Washing, Mobile, Canteen, Special Allow, Others Allow & Salary Diff if any. in which PF is deduct on BASIC + DA, Special Allow, Other Allow & Salary Diff. While ESIC is deduct on Basic + DA, Fixed HRA, Washing Allow, Canteen, Special Allow, Other Allow, Other Allow. During the visit of ESI Inspector he has also checked salary Register but he dosent say any thing & just make sign on it with his stamp. I want know that why PF Inspector ask to paid PF Contribution on Allowances also ? Please send me reply at earliest as it is most urgent.

I remember I had replied to your query earlier too.
If wages inclusive of everything and all allowances total equivalent to notified mininmum wage and if you are paying PF on basic wage which is far less than minimum wage then it is incorrect. You have to pay provident fund on minimum wage emoluments. In ESI wage includes everything and ESI contribution is on total wage hence no objection from ESI inspector
