Hi ,

I am living in KL since 2 months , I come from India and working . I came to know that I need a minimum salary of RM 5000 to get a dependent pass for my wife and daughter.

I need to understand what parts of my salary is included in this 5000 i.e. Is my EPF contribution from the employer considered in this 5000 ?

Thank you .

I think it is the total monthly salary before deductions (tax, EPF, etc.) i.e. the salary shown on the job offer.

Thanks for your reply .

I want to understand that the contribution of my employer will be counted or not .

eg My salary is suppose 4500 on offer
after epf deduction it becomes 4000 . But there is a contribution of 500 from my employer as well to my EPF i.e 500
So with this contribution added to my salary 4500 + 500 (employer epf contribution) can i get a dependent pass.

can you please provide me details if you know of someone with whom I can consult about this.

Thank you.

EPF is not taken into account. It is the monthly salary (it must be RM5k and not be made up of say RM4.5k and housing, or transport benefits).
