CTC vs Gross vs In-Hand Distinction: Cost to Company (CTC) includes employer statutory contributions (EPF ~12% of basic, Gratuity ~4.81% of basic, and group insurance). Gross salary is paid prior to employee tax deductions, while monthly take-home deducts employee EPF, Professional Tax, and Income Tax TDS.
What is a Salary Hike?
A salary hike (also known as a pay raise, salary increment, or compensation revision) refers to an increase in an employee's base remuneration or Cost to Company (CTC). Hikes are awarded during annual performance reviews, mid-year promotions, market rate adjustments, or when negotiating a new employment offer during a job transition.

Key Components of a Salary Structure
When you receive a salary increment, it is typically distributed across your salary structure as follows:
- Basic Salary: Increases proportionally, typically forming 40% to 50% of the revised Cost to Company (CTC).
- House Rent Allowance (HRA): Formed as 40% to 50% of basic salary, unlocking higher tax exemption limits under Section 10(13A).
- Special Allowance: Flexible component that absorbs the residual balance of the increment.
- Employer & Employee EPF: 12% statutory provident fund contribution rises proportionally under the EPF Act, 1952.
- Gratuity Provision: Statutory provision calculated at ~4.81% of Basic Pay per annum under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
- Professional Tax (PT): State-level deduction capped constitutionally at ₹2,500 per year (Article 276(2)).
- Performance Bonus & Variable Pay: Often calculated as an annual percentage of revised basic salary.
