Dear Sheena,
CTC/Gross salary composition varies from company to company.
It is difficult to suggest unless I know the perks and benefits you extend to yr. employees.
In general, 40% in higher and 50% in lower level of CTC goes to Basic.
51.8% of basic goes to Basic Salary linked standard perks and benefits which include - Medical allowance, LTA and retirals like PF, Gratuity and Superannuation. If HRA in your case is % of Basic then, this 51.8% will go up depending on HRA % which generally varies from 30 to 50% of Basic.
Rest you can put money in conveyance, special allowance , uniform allowance, soft furnishing and education etc.
Any amount you spend in keeping the person in service, u can put in CTC.
Devising a CTC structure based solely on Cmpany policy and agreed service condition with the concerned employee.
Pl. tell me if u require any further clarification.
With Warm Regards,
K.P.Misra

2. HRA


Hi Sheena..
The contents of the salary break up is as below, you can prepare it at the suitability of your own. 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 are not covered under ESI as the maximum ceiling for ESI is 10000/Month.
Getting more than this will be covered under Mediclaim or it depends on company policy
EX-Gratia/Bonus = A fixed amount as Bonus
Annual Fixed Gross Cost= Gross/Annum+ Ex-gratia
Annual Total Cost = AFGC + PF+ESIC
Annual total cost is also called as CTC.
Hope now it will be very much clear to you,
And you can draw a salary structure at your own..

Amit Seth.

Hi,
Every company has different grades and designations nomenclature, which defines the facilities to the employees, but the percentage of basic, hra remains same at all grades, hra may vary because it depends upon the city, if it's a metro city, it's be more than what is applicable in case of a non-metro city.
These days there is a system of giving benefit of choice pay to the employees so they may plan a particular part of the salary in order to save income tax etc, in many reputed companies, the balance part beside basic and hra is called as choice pay which may be decided by the employee itself out of some choices such as food coupons, vehicle maintenance expenses, traveling or conveyance allowance, children education allowance, hostelboarding allowance for children, leave travel allowance etc.

=============================================

Fringe Benefit Tax

Fringe Benefit Tax ("FBT") is introduced by Finance Act, 2005 as an 'additional income tax' payable by an employer at the rate of 30% (plus surcharge and education cess) on the prescribed value of fringe benefits deemed to have been provided by the employer to its employees.

Fringe benefit means any consideration for employment provided by way of:

Any privilege, service, facility or amenity, directly or indirectly, provided by an employer to employees/ former employees, whether by way of reimbursement or otherwise (including former employees);

Free or concessional tickets provided for private journeys of employees or their family members; and

Employer's contributions to an approved superannuation fund for employees.

Fringe benefits do not include any privilege, service, facility or amenity on which tax is paid or payable by the employee.

For purposes of deemed fringe benefits, the FBT legislation has identified an exhaustive list of expenses which are deemed to be fringe benefits to the extent of 20% or 50% of the cost incurred or payment made by the employer.

FBT paid by an employer is not an allowable expenditure while computing the net taxable income of the employer. Further, FBT is payable even where no income tax is payable by the employer.
