Pf deduction on minimum wages

Dear All,

There is a notification of central pf commissioner office in year 2011(attched) relating to non- bifurcation of minimum wages. But a contrary view is expressed by P&H High Court in it's recent ruling. Is there any Supreme Court ruling which can clear the doubts? If any then please attach the rulings.

Regards,

Avinash

Dear Mr.Avinash Kumar Sharmaji.

There was a circular on 23.05.2011 wherein it was directed that gross minimum wages is to be taken for computation of PF contribution.

However, there was a circular by Mr.KC Pandey, Additional Central PF Commissioner (Compliance), which is attached herewith, wherein the circular dated 23.05.2011 has been kept in abeyance and need not be implemented till the decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana in the case of Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner v/s.G4S security services.

The circular attached is self explanatory and will satisfy your query.

Regards

Jay Kumtekar

Dear Friends,

Actually the minimum wages will be announced by the respective state governments for the notified employments which will have the break up of Basic and DA (sample notification attached).  The DA will be revised for every 6 months and that also will be published in the govt gazette.  The Basic and DA will attract the PF.  As for as the other categories, the minimum wages should not be less than the national floor level wages fixed by the Cent. Govt.  Some government authorities are accepting the breakup, subject to minimum of 60% of minimum wages as Basic and 40% as allowances (HRA, Conveyance etc.  HRA  must).  If below 60% is shown as Basic they won't accept.
 

Regards,


Srinivasan. P
