Kindly suggest,

 

What is the concept behind taking different meaning for different type of allowances and perquisites for eg. for HRA, Gratuity, Pensions etc etc - we consider only Basic salary + DA (for Ret. ben.) + Commission. (Fixed %) and for Rent free accommodation we take Basic salary + Bonus + All allowances + commission + monetary payment while for Entertainment allowance we take only Basic salary.

 

Can any one please tell me, is there any concept behind such valuation ??
