<svar a="all" v="IN87A463">5.5.9 <span class="em">Columns (14) - (16): Wage and salary earnings</span>: The wage and salary earning (not total earnings) receivable for the wages/salaried work done during the reference week, separately for each of the relevant activities pursued by each person, will be recorded in these columns. The relevant status codes for which wage and salary earnings are to be recorded are 31, 41, 51, 71 and 72. The wages and salaries for the work done during the reference week may be already received or may be receivable in cash or in kind or partly in cash and partly in kind. The total wage or salary received or receivable for the week in cash will be recorded in column (14) and the value (evaluated at the current retain price) of salary or wages in kind received or receivable will be recorded in column (15). The total of columns (14) and (15) will be entered in column (16). The entries for all these columns will be made in 2 places of decimal. For recording the wages or salaries, amount receivable as 'over time' for the additional work done beyond normal working time will be ignored. Bonus (expected or paid) and perquisites, evaluated at retain prices duly apportioned for the reference week, will be considered as wages and included for making entries in these columns. For the activity status '71' and '72' the amount receivable for the week will be worked out on the basis of the number of days reported under the activity during the week.<br /></svar>
