Dear Member,
There can be many components in a CTC structure. That all depends for whom you are drafting the structure. Every point can't be considered for all levels.
In case of lower salary (upto 5 L), you need to frame the structure keeping in view the basic structure (statutory wages, bonus, PF-ESI etc.)
In case of medium salary (5L to 10 L), you need to frame the structure keeping in view the basic structure and enhanced tax exemptions (LTA, Telephone, newspaper etc. re-imbursement).
In case of high salary (10 L & above), you need to frame the structure keeping in view the structure as per corporate norms and enhanced tax exemptions (LTA, Telephone, newspaper, vehicle fuel, vehicle maintenance etc. re-imbursement).
I have updated the most required components in the attached format.
Hope you will find as per requirement.
Learned members can put more light on the matter.

Good evening & thank you Mr Singh for your prompt reply.
It would be really nice if I could use some valuable inputs on my queries mentioned below-
FYI,I belong to a small proprietorship organization of 14 people (we do not have any HR person).
Only 1 person is in 5 lakh ctc & 1 person in 7 lakh Ctc scale. Rest are between 2.5-3.5 lakh scale. We have had increments this year for some for both categories.
As per delhi min wage act 2018- we also follow pf & esi.-what should be the basic and other components for a person earning 20k,25k,28k per month if the increments are decided on CTC figure??
If the ctc is 26000 then the basic calculation of 40% is 10400. what should be the rest of components to fill the remaining amount?
Also if a person is earning 45000, then basic would be 18000. In this case what would be the break-up?
Also I cannot open the attachment. [please be kind enough to mention how i can do it]
Thank you and waiting eagerly for response on my query!!

Dear member,
First of all, pls be noted the CTC structure depends upon many factors (company budget, future plans, nature of employees engaged, no. of employees, organisation structure etc). As you have mentioned yours is a small proprietorship organization of 14 people. Pls note my clarifications on your queries:-
In r/o employees of 5L-7L, you can consider the basic salary on basis of 40%-50% criteria. The other component could be HRA, 50% of basic (to avail tax benefits), special allowance, conveyance allowance etc. (provided in the attachment as well).
Pls find attached the notification of Delhi Govt in which Minimum Wages of different categories given.
As per Delhi Min. Wage Act Apr. 2018- we also follow pf & esi.-what should be the basic and other components for a person earning 20k, 25k, 28k per month if the increments are decided on CTC figure?? =THE BASIC MUST BE AS PER MW ACT, REST COMPONENTS COULD BE AS PER MY CTC ATTACHMENT.
If the ctc is 26000 then the basic calculation of 40% is 10400. what should be the rest of components to fill the remaining amount? = THIS IS INCORRECT WAY. FIRST CHECK WITH THE NOTIFICATION, THAN DEFINE THE BASIC.
The other component could be HRA (50% of basic) to avail tax benefits, special allowance, conveyance allowance etc. (provided in the attachment as well).
Also if a person is earning 45000, then basic would be 18000. In this case what would be the break-up? = THE BASIC FOR GRADUATE AND ABOVE IS RS. 18332/-. SO CHECK THE BASIC.
If you are unable to open the file, this may be due to you are using older version of excel. I am attaching as PDF, hope it will help you.
I have elaborate the matter in much detail, hope this will clarify you all the points. The attachment alone will not serve the purpose, you have to do working as per your requirement.
Last but not the least, I would advise you to take any consultant’s help. So that all time you can comply as per the govt. rules and regulations.

Dear Member,
I think you are totally new in framing the CTC or even fresher in HR.
I don't think there should be any confusion. The basic is less than 20 K coz it is framed for lower scale employee (being CTC 20k/pm). You can increase (modify) the basic and other components as per your requirement.
You are facing difficulty bcoz you are unable to open the file. I am again attaching the file, if you will be able to download than all your queries will be resolved.
If you have any specific query, please share the same. First put some efforts to understand the structure and the basic principal of defining salary structure. Than start working at your own, you will definitely find the correct way.
However, framing the right practice of doing increment is mainly depends upon management overview regarding the budget, future plans, company profitability etc. You first draft proper salary structure, than while doing the increment ask your management (which generally is the owner in small company) what % should be given to the employees. Accordingly you can increase the Basic, HRA and other components.
Also note don't need to consider all components for every employee. Select some basic points (Basic salary, HRA, Conveyance etc) for every employee and pick the other heads as per employee designation and CTC.
Hope I am cleared to you, fellow members can put more light on the matter.

Dear Member,
First of all sorry for late reply, today only I have gone through your comments. I am delight the way you accept that things are new to you and understand your curiosity for gathering the knowledge (being co-proprietor). However, I have summarize the detail in the excel sheet duly matching with your calculations. Hope you will now understand easily. But still this required some updations/corrections. Pls note my observations:-
1. It seems you pay the Minimum Wages only as a basic and no allowance. As per Act it is permisible, but wef 01st Apr’18 the Minimum Wages for unskilled person is Rs. 13896/-. Rs. 13350/- is old rate which applicable last year.
2. Since you are paying only the Minimum Wages, hence note it is different for different categories as per below detail:- Semi-Skilled- Rs. 15296, Skilled- Rs. 16858 and so on. So I will advice to consider appropriate wages for each categoy.
3. You have considered Employer PF Contribution @ 13.15%, which is incorrect way. Ideally you should show @ 12% only. The PF admin charges (1.15%, which has further reduced to 1.00% wef 01st June’18) is employer’s liability towards the govt. Employee doesn’t get the amt., hence it is of no logic to show the govt. payable charges in employee’s CTC.
4. The most important part is that you have not shown the “Statutory Bonus”. Since you are 14 persons, hence Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 is applicable to you. You are bound to pay the Bonus as per the Act.
5. I have inserted one more sheet duly showing the increment @ 10%. The corrections also done and components have been changed accordingly. But in such case also note the Basic Wages should not be less than as per the Minimum Wages Act. (as you are following in your above mentioned example). Paying the Minimum Wages is statutory liability, however above that you can pay as per company policy.
Hope now I am cleared to your points. Fellow members can put more light on the matter.
