There is no rule as such as far as i know... but the candidates always look for break up salary so that they can evaluate each and every component

Hi Sunita,
Generally, organizations issue two letters: one as an offer before joining, which only states the CTC, and the second appointment letter is given after the candidate has joined. The second letter provides the full break-up of the individual's CTC. This breakdown will help in calculating the take-home salary. The gratuity component may or may not be included in this calculation.
Thanks,

Of course, it's very important to let candidates know about their allowances and what else is being offered. I agree with Tabaussum that as a candidate, being offered an offer letter before joining and another at the time of joining is crucial. Therefore, it is very important for a candidate to know about their salary breakdown, including all the allowances and perks.
