Designing a Salary Structure for a 2 Lac CTC: Any Tips or Guidance?

I am working as an HR Associate in a manufacturing company. My senior asked me to design a salary structure for a CTC of 2 Lacs. Can anyone provide guidance on the salary structure for this?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, I would like to understand a few points regarding your question:

- What will be the basis for designing the Salary Structure?
- Do you have any limitations regarding the design?
- How large is your organization?
- Is your organization attempting to develop a new structure, and have you been assigned this task?
- Is this a test to evaluate your competence?

Below is the Salary Structure based on my experience, primarily from the IT industry segment:

Salary Components:

- Basic
- HRA
- Conveyance
- Medical
- Child Education Allowance
- Special Allowance
- LTA
- Variable Allowance
- Provident Fund (Employee)
- Provident Fund (Employer)

Considering the breakup you would require for a CTC of 2 LPA, here it is:

- Basic (@ 40% on CTC) - 80,000
- HRA (@ 16% on CTC) - 32,000
- Conveyance (@ 800 p/m) - 9,600
- Medical Allowance (@ 1250 p/m) - 15,000
- Special Allowance (CTC minus other components) - 44,200
- PF - Employee (@ 12% of basic) - 9,600
- PF - Employer (@ 12% of basic) - 9,600

The above breakup is provided considering the CTC and aiming to be employee-friendly. Please revert if this information is beneficial.

In addition to the queries asked by Mr. Jeevan, certain points should also be kept in mind:

- Whether the organization has a universal one-salary policy, i.e., the same structure for all levels of hierarchy.
- Because the structure is to be drawn for a manufacturing company, there are many allowances given in the factory.
- Please mention whether it should be in favor of the company or the employee (both ways are possible).

I am too late to respond.
