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 + DA + retaining allowance must be at least 50% of total remuneration, which reshapes most older salary formats.
01
Basic + DA ≥ 50% of remuneration
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.
