Only recently i registered under factories act.now as per my lawyer the minimum wages payable under tamil nadu govt is 4790/- which is (basic + D.A.) but my P.F consultant has split gross salary(basic60%+hra30% and converyance10%) in the following way saying this is how calculation has to be done for p.f. only recently did i come to know such bifurcations will lead to legal complications. i'm prepared to pay p.f and minimum wages according to gov rules. now i've few que here.
1. if we calculate only Basic i donot comply with minimum wages.
2. will there be a problem in p.f.dept regarding this matter.
3.is it legal to say my gross salary is more than the total of minimum wages(basic+D.A) prescribed by the govt.
apart from the gross salary i pay conveyance also i.e if a person's salary is 11350/-(basic+hra+conveyance)+ 350/- as conveyance+ tea expenses 400/- month.
thus even after paying so much money i'm still under legal complications. pl help me out. wat is the remedy in this situation.

Hi Vivek:
It does not matter what break up you have given, as long as :
(a) The gross wages paid are more than the government declared minimum wages.
(b) In case HRA is applicable to you, then please add 5% HRA to the Basic + Spl. All (DA) declared by the government, and then match the wages.
(c) Basic wages are in the range of 40% to 60% - depending upon your location, company policy and trends in the area. Please take care that OT rate is double of gross.
Please read the articles available on this forum on this subject.
