Yes Sir. i completely agree with you, My question is pertaining to Wage Definition in Social Security Code.
As per ESIC - Wages allowances also attarcts ESIC COntribution, whereas ocial Security Code defines Upto 50% of allowances in wages are excluded. sothat ESIC contribution excludes this clause or not

Esic is applicable on total gross salary which includes allowances what soever it is.
The wage code main crux is that if allowances is more than 50%, then the % exceeding more than 50% be merged into basic and DA.
So far no such notification is issued by epf or esic in the contribution limits and it is same.

PF % is calculated on BASIC ad DA..Where as ESI deduction is calculated on Gross salary.Hope this clarifies your doubt. Regards, priya

I think that the question relates to the calculation of subscriptions to ESI and EPF schemes under the newly enacted Code on Social Security,2020. One of the salient features of all the four Labor Codes is that they provide for uniformity of interpretation of certain terms like 'wages' commonly occurring in all the Codes. The important aspect of the definition of the term 'wages' is that in general only those components of basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance,if any should be considered as wages for the purposes of each Code subject to the condition of their sum total remains always at equal proportion to the sum total of the remaining components in the wage/salary structure. If the equality in the proportion is disturbed by lesser fixation of the inclusive components, it has to be restored by adjusting from certain excluded components specified in the definition.
Since the enforcement of the Codes and their Rules is awaited, let us wait and see how the treatment of subscriptions to the schemes of ESI and EPF is prescribed under the notifications to be issued by the Central Government in this regard.
