Company offer different salary structure to one candidate

Yes, this can happen .This is  purely a mangement prospective .The question of leagality or illegality  does not create at all.

But such type of practice definitely creat anger and dissatisfaction among the other employees.The Mangement should be capable to explain properly and  to the satisfaction of the other employees.the resons for the such type of Offer.

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?

 

No there should not be any question.
