Hi,
Can anyone help me out in knowing the non-taxable components of salary? For example, my organization is planning to give salary in the following format:
Total Salary - 6000 per month
Basic + DA = 3000
Conveyance Allowance = 500
Special Allowance = 2000
Attendance Bonus = 200
Consulting fee component (since it's a hospital, only to doctors) = 300
In this, I know the conveyance allowance limit is 800. Are the remaining components such as Basic + DA, Special Allowance, Attendance Bonus, Consulting Fee, etc., taxable?
I hope seniors will guide me in this matter.

Dear Arun,
Find below one of the salary break-ups that you may use as a reference.
The contents of the salary break-up are as follows; you can customize it to suit your needs. HRA would be 50% or 60% of the basic salary.
- Basic
- HRA
- CCA - ₹825/- is exempted from tax
- Other Allowances
- Mobile Reimbursement
- Medical Reimbursement of ₹1250/month is tax-exempt
- Gross Per Month = Sum of all the above
- Gross Per Annum = 12 * Gross/Month
- PF Contribution = 12% of Basic/Annum
- ESI Contribution = 4.75% of Gross/Annum
- Medical = The medical facility provided to employees not covered under ESI, as the maximum ESI ceiling is ₹10,000/month. Amounts exceeding this will be covered under Mediclaim or as per company policy.
- Ex-Gratia/Bonus = Fixed amount as Bonus
- Annual Fixed Gross Cost = Gross/Annum + Ex-gratia
- Annual Total Cost = AFGC + PF + ESIC
- Annual total cost is also known as CTC.
In addition to the above, Food coupons, Holiday packages, and Furnishing items are included in their CTC.
I hope this information helps clarify your queries to some extent.
