Understanding Your Salary Structure

CTC vs In-Hand Salary

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total expense an employer incurs for an employee. In-hand salary is what you actually receive after all deductions.

Common Salary Components

  • Basic Salary: Core component, affects PF and gratuity
  • HRA: House Rent Allowance for accommodation
  • Special Allowance: Flexible component, fully taxable
  • LTA: Leave Travel Allowance (exempt with proof)
  • Medical Allowance: Health expense reimbursement

Deductions from Salary

  • PF: 12% of basic (matched by employer)
  • Professional Tax: State-based, max ₹2,500/year
  • TDS: Tax deducted at source monthly

HRA Exemption

Least of the following is exempt under old regime:

  • Actual HRA received
  • 50% of basic (metro) or 40% (non-metro)
  • Rent paid minus 10% of basic

Optimizing Your Salary

  • Higher basic = more PF = better retirement corpus
  • Lower basic = more flexible allowances = higher in-hand
  • Balance based on tax planning and long-term goals
