Basic Salary Under New Wage Code Explained: 50% Wage Formula And 15% In-Kind Limit To Impact EPF & Gratuity
The Code on Wages, 2019 redefines how “basic salary” is calculated for EPF, pension and gratuity. Under the new rules, wages include basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance, which together must form at least 50 percent of total remuneration. Allowances such as HRA, bonus, travel, overtime, employer PF contributions and retirement benefits are excluded. If allowances exceed 50 percent, the excess must be added back to wages.
