New Labour Code Impact at 35 LPA — 2025

Under the New Labour Code, basic salary must be at least 50% of CTC. At 35 LPA, this means a minimum basic of ₹1,45,833/month. If your current basic is below this threshold, your employer must restructure your salary components — typically by reducing allowances like HRA, conveyance, or special allowance to accommodate the higher basic.

How This Changes Your PF

Higher basic means higher EPF contribution. At 50% basic on 35 LPA, your employee PF contribution rises to ₹17,500/month vs the current ₹14,000/month (typical 40% basic structure) — a difference of ₹3,500/month in take-home. Annually, that is ₹42,000 less in hand but more in your EPF corpus, which earns 8.25% tax-free interest.

Gratuity Impact

Gratuity is calculated on basic + DA. With higher basic under the new code, your gratuity entitlement after 5 years increases proportionally. At ₹1,45,833/month basic, the gratuity after 5 years is approximately ₹4,20,672 (formula: 15 days × years / 26). The new code also extends gratuity eligibility to fixed-term contract employees after just 1 year of service.
