NEW DELHI: Your take home salary could go up leaving you more to spend â€" though it could be at the cost of your savings â€" as the government is mulling lowering the social security contribution.

The labour ministry will hold consultation with stakeholders once the committee finalises its recommendations, following which they would be incorporated in the social security code, the official said.
