What impact does raising the Basic component to meet the 50% wage floor have on long-term social security benefits?
Answer
It leads to a significant boost to long-term financial security.
Because PF and Gratuity are calculated on the base salary, increasing the basic component automatically raises the employer's contribution to PF and enhances the Gratuity entitlement accrued over tenure.
