My dear Sarkar
Thanks for your reply; which very nicely reflects your opinion and attitude.
Kindly go through my earlier post again. The example quoted therein are just examples to make the concept easy to understand and not taken from my or any other specific company.
The Sales/Marketing example was taken, as they are mostly on tour/travel. However, all these travel expenses (which are undertaken for company business) do not form a part of CTC; as these do not go in the pocket of the employee - lijke in the case of LTA/LTC; but are merely reimbursement of expenses incurred for company work.
The facts quoted therein are facts, that can be verified with any knowledgeable person or an expert like a good CA/CS or even the knowledgeable HEAD and VP - HR of your esteemed company.
I am sure you have not referred the matter to them, else they would have told you what is right.
The fact remains that :
The expenses incurred by any employee in connection with company business/work such as Official tours (including travel, boarding & lodging, incidental expenses in connection with the work); are never a part of CTC.
Please try to understand what CTC (Cost to Company) means and what it includes.
If still you have any doubts on this, you should clarify it from your own seniors. I do not think a senior person who understands these aspects would have a different opinion.
We are here, definitely, to share knowledge, and that is why my emphasis on facts, and legalities.
Do think again on this without getting
unduly charged up in anger !!
Declaring the questionable policies of your company, the supposed concurrence of your HEAD/VP-HR and your salary information in a public forum, is not proper, you could land in problem if words get back to your organization.
Warm regards.
