  • Medical Allowance

  • Special Allowance

  • Bonus

  • Incentive

2. Deductions

Final employee ko milne wali amount ko Net Salary ya Take Home Salary kehte hain.

HRA (House Rent Allowance) Kya Hai?

Normally employee ka contribution:

12% of Basic Salary

Example

Employer employee ki salary se Income Tax deduct karke Government ko deposit karta hai.

Agar salary taxable limit se upar hai to TDS deduct ho sakta hai.

Example

Annual Tax Liability = ₹24,000

Financial year ke end mein employee Form 16 receive karega.
