Dear Asif
This circular is internal communication between the PF authorities. This circular is not law. Moreover, PF authorities does not have jurisdiction to enter into minimum wages question. They can only ensure that the PF is deducted on Basic+DA or not. However, due to this circular, PF authorities will now pull many employers in the enquiry under section 7A and will make the demand of differential money if any. However, if the matter is fought out till tribunal or High Court level, the chances of winning are more favourable to the employer.

Dear Mr. Igbal
I would like to draw your attention that the Pf authorities has directed through their internal order based on some recent judgment awarded saying that the minimum wages cannot be split for the purpose of PF deduction. But afterwards the concerned employer appealed to the Appellate Tribunal and based on the reason of the employer Counsels Tribunal granted the stay on the authority's order and the matter is pending before the Appellate Tribunal.

This is what the problem.
This subject is being discussed in another heading "splitting of minimum Wages for the purpose of PF contribution not permissible".
I have been suggesting the web designer of this forum that similar such discussions must be linked, so that someone who has doubt on this score and who did not have exposure to go through various suggestions and discussions on this topic, when the try to post such question, the computer must alert him to visit such and such site. Software designing must be done in that way.
Can the web designers look into this?
Now coming back to your point; the above order issued by the PF authorities does not hold water. Because, this is basically their internal circular. And PF authorities do not have locus standi to issue such orders. It is learnt that circular (attached by you here) issued by PF authorites has been quashed by PF Tribunal. However, I am yet to get copy, if any. Hence wait for some more time to know about the current status.
