One of the provision in the Code states that “Only basic salary should be pensionable.”
What are the potential consequences if pension benefits are instead based on the gross salary?
This provision is designed to promote fairness, transparency and responsible corporate governance practices by requiring pension contribution rates for executives to be aligned to those of the workforce.
