Hi,
This is Priya. I am working as an HR Executive. I found this site veryful and knowledgeable.
I have a doubt. In our company we want to restructure our salary headings. Now, we are calculating in the following heads,
Basic-60%
HRA-30%
Travel allowance-800
Medical reimbursement-1250
spl allowance- remaining from above.
In the above we cannot reimburse spl allowance it seems. So we thought to change it to communication reimbursement. This also cannot be reimbursed unless it is paid directly by the company. In such case my higher authorities suggested PDR heading i.e personal development reimbursement. Kindly suggest me in this. Is it fine to create heading for PDR. If yes, how much is the limit. Else suggest me with some other headings which can be reimbursed.
Waiting for your valuable reply.
Thanks in advance.

PDR is used as a component by some companies If I am right, this concept was introduced in eighties as there used to be tax exemptions . In fact initially it was given for buying books,magazines and news papers. Later , Companies started giving thi as monthly allowance ubder the Head Personal Development
Adding this or any other head which your company feels good for you can be incorporated. However, consult a Tax expert as to whether it has any relevance today for tax saving
I suggest add Heads only if there is going to be Tax Saving
Some Companies do away with all such Heads and call it Flexi Allowance.
