Dear Colleagues,
Let me add a few words to the issues raised on Compensation & Benefits.
One basic thing is the status of employee/s concerned, department which such belongs to and probably the level of hazard related tasks such might be involved in and more importantly business environment and industry.
However some allowances not mentioned would include but not limited to the underlisted:
*Fuel Allowance (Petrol/Diesel)
*Driver's Allowance
*Mobile/Cell Phone Allowance
*Power Generator Alowance
*Internet Access Allowance
*Academic/ Professional Membership Allowance
*Accident Free Allowance (for Drivers)
*Night Shift Allowance
*Furniture Allowance
*Mortgage Allowance
*Offshore/Rig Allowance
*Gas Allowance (domestic)
*Dressing Allowance-Marketing Team/TV Broadcasters
Sincerely the list can go on and on, but as I have earlier said staffers' status in the Company would certainly determine what he/she gets as compensation and the industry they belong to would be the launching pad for such.
Thanks

Hi,
As i know that conveyance allowance 800/- and medical allowance 1250/- per month minimum can be paid.
But still i need to ask what are the set rules for salary breakup.
As in my company employee is getting 50000/- salary per month or if somebody is getting 20000/-, 15000/-, 10000/-, 8500/-, 7000/-, . And we break the salary in following components :
Basic ( how we break basic pay?)
HRA,
Medical Allowances
Conveyance Allowances
Special Allowances ( is it taxable ?)

Sridhar,
Off-hand, what the FBT says is to tax all of the financial transactions which happens due to an employee (be it business related hence taxed by the employer or salary component -the tax component being passed on to the employee).
Currently, with the kind of uproar this new tax component is creating, i doubt that the tax is going to become legal (though some form of it might stay).
Probably the best bet to look at the financial impact of your salary (including allof the perks, perquisites etc) would be done through a visit to a Chartered Accountant.
PS - i am currently looking at re-structuring my own salary and you bet, next week on monday i am meeting my company's CA for his approval/suggestions.
Cheers!!!
