7th Pay Commission: There is big news for the government employees of the country. After the dearness allowance (7th Pay Commission) to the central employees, now the Modi government is preparing to implement the new labor law (New Wage Code 2021) soon, the Labor Ministry has completed the preparations. But the draft is yet to be finalized at the level of some states, it is expected that it can be implemented by the end of this year. If this happens, then there will be a big impact on salary, PF and graduation.
According to media reports, the Modi government was going to implement the Labor Code Rules 2021 from October 1, 2021 after a delay in July, but the matter got stuck due to the delay in the draft of the states, but now it is discussed that the Ministry of Labor has completed the preparations and it can be implemented by the end of December. This will reduce the salary of the employees as they will get less salary from the current take home and more deduction will be in their PF. However, this benefit will be known to the employee at the time when he retires. In the amount of PF they will get, they will get a bigger amount than before.
The special feature of the new wage code is that the cash-in-hand salary of the private employer will decrease, that is, the monthly salary will decrease, because more money is deducted for PF. But after retirement you will get big fund. The same gratuity will also increase. The basic salary of the employees cannot be less than 50 percent of the CTC of the employees. Due to increase in basic salary, PF of employees will be deducted more. This will definitely reduce the salary in the hands of the employees, but they will get more money on retirement.
