In layman's terms, a hike depends first on individual performance against laid-down goals, the availability and price of skills in the market, and lastly, the company's financial performance.
Soumik, the word "discretion" is misleading and incomplete. It's a scientific process and transparent too. Job evaluation methods like the Hay Point factor, salary surveys, etc., help in the above process.
Next, if the company has a job grading system in place, then even hikes would be defined. The sentence, "There is no such rule to bind the percentage of hike in any company," is incorrect, and job grading has been there for several decades.
Increment can be on basic or CTC? Basic is the cornerstone of various calculations, so for the last several decades, it's most popular. In the Middle East, it's basic + housing. It's normally not on CTC because there are various complications involved. There are several allowances which vary across roles/geographies, etc., so reverse calculations may not be an easy task.
