Company offer different salary structure to one candidate

Suppose a corporate company makes a employment offer to a candidate where the company pays a high lump sum in the salary to that employee to whom the employment offer is being made at the end of each year whereas for all the other employees the company do not offer such a lump sum at the end of the year. Will it create a problem to the company during Audit or income tax? Will it be illegal in any way?

No...... but salary structure of each employee should be as per laws prevailing at the time.........

Let it be illustrated in the following way with hypothetcal structure and hypothetical values:

The company has a salary structure like Basic+HRA+Travel Allowance+Medical Allowance.

The company has a band structure like Band I salaray range is 20-40 lakhs per annum for Band I employees, Band II salaray range is 41-65 lakhs for Band II employees, band III salary range is 66 lakhs-80 lakhs for Band III employees, band IV salaray range 81 lakhs - 100 lakhs for Band IV employees like this...........

Now for one employee who will be in Band II, the company offers a salary structure like Basic+HRA+Travel Allowance+Medical Allowance+ Year end allowance. So for this employee there is an component which is year end allowance which is paid at the end of an year. 

Will it be illegal for the employer to do this? Will it create a problem to the company during Audit or income tax?
