Hi
In my previous company at Bangalore, they had a salary structure as below
Base Salary x Basic Salary y=35% of x Flexible Compensation 65% of x Benefits Allowance 3% of x + Rs.10000 Retirement Benefits
Super Annuation 15% of y PF 12% of y
Flexible Compensation consists of
Medical Allowance 15000 as per law Annually Telephone Reimbursement As per company policy Annually Internet (Broadband) reimbursement As per company policy Annually HRA 40% of basic or actuals whichever is lesser
LTA 60000 Annually Conveyance Rs.800 without bills $Monthly
I didnt quite understand why did they have the Benefits allowance seperately as it is anyway fully taxed. Why it is not a part of Base salary.
Is Base salary any % of CTC? What I understood is you first fix the base salary and then with % calculate all the other components as I had mentioned above. Is my understanding of everything correct?

Dear Shaleo,
As per my Knowledge as you yourself wrote that your
Basic Salary(y) was 35% of gross or base salary & Super Annuation 15% of y PF 12% of y.
As the companies had to contribute for employee PF and also give benefits and incentives i.e Super Annuation to employees.
Just think if the organization has to give PF & SA on Base salary will it be cost effective for the companies.
To make it cost effective all this calculation or bifurcations are done on basic salary and not on base salary.
