How a compliant salary structure works

A salary structure - or CTC breakup - splits Cost to Company into monthly cash, statutory contributions and annual components. Under India's 4 Labour Codes, Basic must be at least 50% of CTC, which reshapes most older salary formats.

01

Basic ≥ 50% of CTC

The Code on Wages makes Basic the base for PF, gratuity and leave encashment - so it can't be under-weighted anymore.

02

Allowances that work

HRA, LTA and special allowances are arranged for employee tax efficiency without shrinking statutory dues.

03

Statutory built in

PF, ESIC, professional tax and TDS are computed correctly for every pay band and state.

04

Avoid costly mistakes

No under-50% Basic, no allowance stacking, always provision gratuity - the errors that trigger penalties.
