A person is working with a small firm, He wants to bifurcate his salary like............. HRA would be 40 to 60% of basic.
Basic
HRA (40% of basic)
TA
Other Allowance
Mobile Reimbursement / Month
Gross Per Month = Sum of all the above.
Gross Per Annum= 12*Gross/Month
PF Contribution= 12% of Basic/Annum
ESI Contribution = 4.75% of Gross/Annum
Medical = The mediclaim facility provided to an employee who are not covered under ESI as the maximum ceiling for ESI is 10000/Month.
LTA = 10% of Basic EX-Gratia/Bonus = A fixed amount as Bonus

Annual Fixed Gross Cost= Gross/Annum+ Ex-gratia

Following are not taxable subject to providing the supporting documents wherever required: HRA - Rent Receipt LTA- two times in a block of 4 years on submission of travelling bills fulfilling the rules laid down in the provision. Current block is (2006-2009). PF contribution @ 12% of basic salary is paid out from your taxable salary and hence can be claimed as deduction ESI/Mediclaim is paid by Employer directly and hence it is not liable to tax in the hands of Employer. Rest everything is taxable. Regards, Mutyam

How to treat salary received from esi during sickness leave. My esi contribution goes out of my salary, and I had applied 3 months leave due to fracture surgery. And I received payments from my esi company during my recovery holidays. Please tell me should it be treated as salary or its not treated as income.

Thanks.
