The CTC comprises of all the costs the company has to bear for employing u. It includes the electricity bill that u run up while using the computer at ur desk, it includes the free tea or coffee that u drink from the machines, it includes the rent of the office space that u occupy, it includes the cost of the various trainings given to u......and much much more.
every company has a different break-up of the actual salary that u get in hand. the ususal components will be : the basic sal, HRA, travel allowance, food allowance (which my b in the form of coupons), and the PF thats deducted from ur salary and the amount that the co. contributes.
the basic is fixed.
u can increase ur HRA to any limit which is non-taxable provided u produce the rent slips. u can check with ur company HR. also u shud increase the PF deductions from ur salary. on doing this u may feel that u r getting lesser in-hand today but then it has compounding interest.....
also some cos. offer food coupons ...get to kno the max limit of which u can get the coupons so that they remain tax-exempt.
all u need to do u sit with ur HR and discuss....
