Questions
What is the 50% wage rule?
Under the Code on Wages, allowances such as HRA and conveyance above 50% of total pay are added back to "wages". PF and gratuity are worked out on these wages.
Will my in-hand pay fall?
Only if your basic + DA is below half of your pay and PF is paid on full wages. If PF is paid only up to the ₹15,000 ceiling and your basic is already above it, nothing changes.
When did the labour codes start?
The four labour codes came into force on 21 November 2025. Some rules are notified by each state, so details can differ.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an estimate for planning. Confirm PF, ESI and professional tax with your accountant.
