What is Basic Salary?
Basic salary of any CTC component is a fixed amount which is around 40%-50% of Total Salary. Basic Salary also may differ according to type of industry and designation of employees. Being the core components of Salary many Payroll compliance contribution is based upon the Basic Salary.
For instance – Provident fund 12% of Basic, Gratuity 4.81% of Basic etc. Basic Salary is fully Taxable
What is other Allowances?
In accordance with company policy, Industry and job profile allowances are provided to employees which is above the Basic component.
Hence Allowance may differ from company to company.
For some allowance there are provision for Tax Exemption like For HRA exemption Sec 10(13) A etc these are Scheduled Reimbursement), some allowances are those for them there is no any specific name listed in the exemption list in Income Tax, for example Mobile Allowances etc these are unscheduled Reimbursement).
