Did my salary go down because of the labour codes?
Your total pay did not change. Your take-home may be a little lower because more of your pay is now classified as wages, so your provident fund deduction rises. That extra money goes into your own retirement savings, and your employer contributes a matching amount.
What is the new EPFO wage ceiling?
₹25,000 a month, effective 17 September 2026, raised from ₹15,000. Employees drawing up to ₹25,000 in wages now come under mandatory EPF, EPS and EDLI coverage.
I am on a fixed-term contract. Do I get gratuity?
Yes. Under the Code on Social Security, fixed-term employees are eligible for proportionate gratuity after one year of service, down from five years for permanent staff.
Is the content up to date?
Yes. Every fact, date and figure comes from official sources — the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Press Information Bureau and the EPFO — checked in October 2026.
How do I download the guide after payment?

Is this legal advice?
No. It is general information to help you understand the changes and check your own payslip. For your specific case, confirm with your HR team or a qualified professional.
