We have salary structure with
Basic, HRA, Medical Reimbursement, Special Allowance, LTA, Incentive, Bonus.
There was question raised was that Special Allowance is take away of Basic and it should be consider for PF contribution to the extent of Rs.6500 as per definition of wages under Employee Provident Act.
Can anybody guide me on the same on the following:
- Can i re-name Special Allowance to some other name - so that it cannot be consider for PF purpose - if so what can be component name apart from existing components as stated above.
- Can i have CCA in place of special allowance - but to my understanding CCA is fixed amount for all employee cannot vary like Special Allowance and moreover CCA has thin line of difference when compared to DA - so whether that will also be considered for PF purpose.
