Understanding CTC and Gross Salary
CTC (Cost to Company) means every single penny spent by the company on the employee. For example, if you have a coffee in your office, the cost of it will be added to your remuneration. Similarly, transportation, gratuity, and other benefits are included. On the other hand, Gross salary includes net salary + PF.
Please refer to the attachment for more information.
Suggestion: Always negotiate your salary based on Gross rather than CTC.

Dear Alka,
CTC means Cost to the Company, which includes all the cash benefits you receive from the company per annum (inclusive of statutory benefits). On the other hand, Gross refers to the Monthly Gross Salary, which includes your Provident Fund contributions and Professional Tax.
Thank you.

Understanding Salary Components
Gross Salary consists of all earning components, such as BASIC, HRA, DA, CCA, and other allowances.
Net Salary is Gross Salary LESS deductions, such as PF, ESIS, Professional Tax, TDS, etc.
Cost to Company (CTC) is Gross Salary PLUS contributions such as the company's contribution to PF, ESIC, Gratuity, Superannuation, medical insurance, etc., PLUS the value of perquisites, such as Car, House, and other non-cash benefits.
