There is no basic law but general practice is:

Basic salary should be 30 to 40% of gross salary, DA as per minimum wages, HRA minimum 5% max 40/50% of Basic Salary, conveyance allowances Rs. 800. Child edu. allow. Rs. 200, rest to be trf to Other Allowance / CCA.

11 January 2014 Yes correct, you can add but in my view as long as salary is not taxable reimbursement should not be added to CTC.

Thanks

12 January 2014 Further to explanation given by vaibhavj, mobile and food coupons can also be given, but could be shown under ctc as this might be not taxable for the employee but is a cost for the company.

12 January 2014 Yes Vishal, but as long as salary is out of taxable bracket reimbursement should be avoided, since it adds on admin cost of company too.

Thanks
