Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 50% basic wage rule under the Code on Wages?
The Code on Wages mandates that basic pay plus dearness allowance must constitute at least 50% of the employee's gross monthly remuneration, requiring restructuring of high-allowance CTC models.
Are non-compete clauses post-employment enforceable in India?
Under Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, post-employment non-compete restrictions are void. However, confidentiality, IP assignment, non-solicitation of clients, and non-poaching of employees remain fully enforceable.
