No, shift allowance is normally based on the no.of shifts attended and better to keep this away from CTC. In general there will be different pattern for different shifts ie., employees attending in First and General shift are not generally eligible for shift allowance. The employees who are reporting the Second and Night shift are going to be paid the shift allowance.
The shift duties are to be in rotation, on public holidays & weekly offs the employees shall be paid OT on double the rate hence in general the companies won't pay shift allowance in their shifts. Some times the employees will exchange the shift duties mutually.
If you include the shift allowance in CTC, irrespective of their shift duties they are eligible for that particular allowance and it will become part of their salary.
Considering the above points including the shift allowance in the CTC is not advisable.

Hi Kamesh,
Thanks for the response.
In my current company there are two shifts morning and evening. Both the have shift allowance. I have received an offer from a new company that also follows the same shift basis but they are not providing the allowance.
So for eg if my TFP is 3 lacs + shift allowance of 200 per working day will be about 26k to 27k.
but with out shift allowance my the another offer is 3.4 lacs but take home will be 25040.
So that can i include my shift allowance in demanding my package ????

Yes, obviously. While finalizing your CTC you should include all the benifts and then negotiate. For instance in some companies they provide subsidized food etc., that means that is a benefit for you, when you are negotiating with the new employer you should convert the same in to cash and include to your ctc and negotiate.
I believe you got your answer.
