Hi Meenakshi,
CTC stands for Cost to the Company, i.e., the total expenditure of the company towards a particular employee. It includes every cost in terms of money and materials. Some of the components are:
- Gross Salary
- Bonus
- PF Contribution from the employer's side
- ESI or Medical contribution from the Employer's side
- Cell Phone Allowance
- Hard furnishing goods
- Food coupons
The contents of the salary breakup are as below. You can prepare it according to your own suitability.
HRA would be 50 or 60% of basic.
Basic
HRA
TA
Other Allowance
Mobile Reimbursement / Month
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 mediclaim facility provided to an employee who is not covered under ESI, as the maximum ceiling for ESI is 10,000/Month. Getting more than this will be covered under Mediclaim or it depends on the company policy.
Annual Fixed Gross Cost = Gross/Annum + PF + ESI + Med
Ex-Gratia/Bonus = A fixed amount as Bonus
Annual Total Cost = AFGC + Ex Gratia/Bonus
Annual total cost is also called CTC.
Hope now it will be very much clear to you. If you have any queries, feel free to ask.

Hi,
This is the common structure that will serve as guidance for you.
BASIC - 30% of total CTC (It may go up to 60%, which is advisable not more than that).
DA - NIL (You can eliminate this as nowadays everything is worked on basic and it doesn't make any difference. If you prefer to have DA, ensure that the Basic and DA do not exceed 30% - 60%).
HRA - 40% of Basic in case of non-metro & 50% in case of metro.
Medical - ₹1250 per month (₹15,000 is exempted if an employee provides a bill; else, it is taxable).
Transport - ₹800 per month (it's fully exempted).
Uniform Allowance - ₹300 to ₹500 (any nominal amount to maintain uniform is exempted if you provide a uniform).
Educational Allowance - ₹100 per month per kid, and a maximum of two kids are exempted.
Hostel Allowance - ₹150 per month per kid, and a maximum of two kids are exempted from tax.
Flexi Allowance - any other amount can be included in this field.
Deductions:
PF - 12% of basic (both employer and employee).
LTA - 1 month of basic per annum (which will be paid to them once in two years and exempted once in two years if they provide bills).
Gratuity (compulsory if they complete 5 years of service) and superannuation are optional. If the company agrees, it can be deducted from the monthly salary.
