The finance ministry is yet to take a call on the labour ministry’s proposal to raise the wage ceiling for mandatory EPF cover to Rs 25,000 per month. This is mainly because approving it will cost the exchequer Rs 750 crore in addition to around Rs 2,000 crore now by way of the government’s contribution towards the Employees Pension Scheme (EPS) per subscriber at 1.16% of the wages.
“The labour ministry has already taken up the matter with the finance ministry. Unless they give clearance, it can’t be raised,” a senior government official said. Under the current law, it is mandatory for units employing 20 or more people to provide EPF benefits to workers. While employees contribute 12% of the basic pay to EPF, the employer contributes 8.33% towards EPS 3.67% to the EPF itself. The government pays 1.16% in addition towards EPS.
Employers also pay 0.5% towards EDLI, 0.65% as EPF administrative charges and 0.01% as EDLI handling fee, taking the total contribution to 13.61%. The government also provides grant to the tune of Rs 3,000 crore per annum towards payment of minimum pensions of Rs 1,000 per month. The Central Board of Trustees (CBT), the highest decision-making body of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), gave its go-ahead for the proposal to raise the wage ceiling for mandatory EPF cover from `15,000 now for organised-sector workers long ago. Following this, the labour ministry sent the proposal to the finance ministry for its approval which would require to be notified by the government subsequently. Sources said if implemented, it would raise the number of active EPF subscribers by around 50 lakh to 5 crore.
The EPFO’s wage threshold was last raised in November 2014 from Rs 6,500 a month. The wage threshold for medical/cash and insurance benefits under the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) was raised last year to Rs 21,000 per month, from Rs 15,000 previously.
ESIC, another social security venture of the government, had in September last year raised the threshold to Rs 21,000 per insured persons in sync with the hike in minimum wages. “ESIC is different. There the government does not give anything in grant,” said the source, adding that in ESIC the contribution is also less at 6.75-1.75% by the employer and 4.75% by the employer. “But for EPFO, the contribution is 24%. So, raising the threshold limit for EPFI is not easy, plus the government has also provided grant,” the source said.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is likely to push the Code on Wages Bill for passage in the monsoon session of Parliament beginning next month, the labour ministry revealed. The Code would ensure universal minimum wage for all industries and workers. It will also cover those workers who are getting monthly pay of higher than Rs 18,000. At present laws on wages do not cover workers getting monthly wage of more than Rs 18,000. “We are aiming for that,” replied Labour Secretary M Sathiyavathy when asked whether the Code on Wages Bill would be pushed for passage in the forthcoming session of Parliament next month. The ministerial panel on labour issues headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has already approved the Code on Wages. The ministry is in the process of getting the draft law approved from the Union Cabinet after vetting by the law ministry.
The Code on Wages Bill seeks to empower the Centre to set a minimum wage across sectors and states will have to maintain that. However, states will be able to provide for higher minimum wage in their jurisdiction than fixed by the central government. Besides, the minimum wage would be applicable on all classes of workers. At present, it is applicable for scheduled industries or establishments in the law. Similarly, the universal minimum wage would be applicable for all workers irrespective of their pay. At present, the minimum wage rates fixed by the Centre and states are applicable to workers getting up to Rs 18,000 monthly pay. The proposed Code on Wages will subsume the Minimum Wages Act of 1948, the Payment of Wages Act of 1936, the Payment of Bonus Act of 1965 and the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976. The labour ministry is in the process of condensing 44 labour laws into four codes– wages, industrial relations, social security and safety, health and working conditions.
The ministerial panel headed by Jaitley is also deliberating upon the Code on Industrial Relations, which will subsume Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Trade Unions Act, 1926, and the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. On the Code on Industrial Relations, Sathiyavathy said, “We have to give one more presentation to the Group of Ministers. We have to get time for that from Finance Ministry.”
