Please find here a newsletter discussing the developments in detail and our Point of View

The Supreme Court ruling on inclusion of allowances is expected to have a significant financial impact on compensation budgets and strategy going forward. In view of the above, Aon conducted a quick pulse survey to understand how

  • Organizations plan to implement and manage the above changes with respect to PF
  • How these changes would impact organizations in terms of additional financial costs

The survey results would help participants understand the actions undertaken by organizations on the recent Provident Fund court rulings along with Aon’s Point of View which in turn would help them in establishing their own Provident Fund and related compensation structuring policy.
