Understanding Salary Deductions: What to Expect from a ₹30,000 Consolidated Pay?

Please tell me if I have been informed that I will be given a ₹30,000 consolidated salary. What deductions will be made from this amount? Also, does it include HRA, medical allowance, and convenience allowance?

Is it possible for a company not to pay HRA to an employee?

It is the employer's privilege to structure the salary of employees. Thus, all those allowances, as Mr. Pon said, form part of the salary. However, HRA Considerations

HRA may be mandatory if there is a state Act making it compulsory to pay; otherwise, it is not mandatory.

Statutory Deductions

As far as deductions are concerned, all statutory contributions like EPF, ESI, Labour Fund, Professional Tax, TDS (if you are coming under the tax net), and loan installments, if any, are compulsory. You can also authorize certain deductions like insurance premiums, etc.
