*As per my knowledge basic salary may lie between 40 - 60 % , is there any law which defines the percentage of minimum or maximum basic salary in india.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Dear Kusum,
There is no law which defines the percentage of minimum or maximum basic salary in india. Moreover, it depends on Management.
Govt revise Minimum Wages every after six month and Employer should keep in mind that their employee' basic should be more than what govt fix and revise time to time. This is just for Basic rest of the components are by managent decisions and company policies.

Let me make a correction that Minimum Wages is not revised every six months but it is normally revised after every five years. At the same time, dearness allowance, which is a component of minimum wages, only is revised and that revision need not necessarily be in six months but it may take place every month also depending upon the increase or decrease in cost of living indices.
Minimum Wages is the bare minimum wages payable to an employee to survive. We know that every day the prices of essential commodities are on increase. Therefore, the government can not fix a wage for five years because a wage fixed now may become negligible after a year or two. It is with a view to avoiding such situation and to make up the cost of living that Dearness Allowance which is variable according to changes in consumer price index is made a component of statutory minimum wages.

Dear Mr. Madhu
Thanks for your reply. but i am on the same state of confusion . recently govt of Delhi revised minimum wage upto rs. 310 per day (rs. 8060 per month for 26 days).
* Correct me if i am wrong as you said the govt. revise the D.A component of minimum basic wage on behalf of consumer price indices. which automatically pushes the minimum wage !!
* according to the new revision an employer is ALSO supposed to revise the basic salary of his graduate employee upto Rs. 8060 and and also needs to consider Rs. 8060 as a base for Pf & PS calculations ?
* In my company(Pvt. Ltd.) employer is giving only basic salary not D.A , does our company also need to upgrade basic salary upto rs. 8060 for a graduate employee?

If you do not give DA but the total salary paid is not less than the minimum wages fixed, it is okay. You need not pay anything extra like DA. With regard to PF contribution, if the minimum wages is Rs 8060, you need not pay contribution on that amount because as per PF schemes, you can restrict your contribution on a salary of Rs 6500. The direction to pay contribution at least on minimum wages does not mean that it should be paid on the actual salary if it is above Rs 6500.

Could some expert please clarify on the original question of the thread as it is also giving me headche at my organization level?
Taking example of U.P. where min. wage is 7300 as of today.
Case 1:
Is it legal to keep basic salary as 50% of above amount i.e. 7300/2 = 3650? And then do all the necessary PF deductions etc.
So the salary becomes:
Basic 3650
HRA: 3650
EPF deduction employee = 12% *3650 = 438/-
Employer share = 438
ESIC Employee Share = 1.75% * ( 100% of Grooss i.e., 7300) = 127.75
ESIC Employer = 4.75* ( 100% of Grooss i.e., 7300) = 346.75
Total in-Hand salary of worker= Basic + HRA - EPF Share of employee - ESIC Share of employee
Total in-Hand salary of worker= 3650 + 3650 - 438 - 127.75 = 6734.25 Rs/-
Is it fine?
Also, please answer the main question

Dear Mr. Atul,
Please be noted that in reference to Section 4 under MW Act, it mentions that minimum wages may be inclusive of basic pay and with special allowance on which it is based.
Though in practice we concentrate on the basic as in Pvt. concerns, we do not have DA. In few Cos. Special Allowance is a component in wages, and in others they do not have any SA.
Therefore to your query, would like to clarify that...
1. If MW is 7500/- then the following will be its structure.
a. Basic- 7500/-
b. HRA- (7500*50/100) = 3750/-
c. PF- Employee= 900/-, Employer= 1002/- (Basic*13.36%)
d. ESIC- Employee= 197/-, Employer= 534/-
e. Total in hand= 10547/-
If you follow this then that can be called as complied.

Dear Pradipta Nath Sir,
I highly appreciate you for taking out time to reply on my query.
Can i not keep basic salary as 3750 in case of MW is 7500 and do all deductions on this basic?
or do i have to compulsorily keep 7500 itself as the basic and do necessary deductions?
Anticipating your kind reply.
Thanks,
