I have to give a 20% hike to an employee. Is it possible to give that person a 20% on each component rather than on the Total Salary? Of course Medical will be 1250 p.m. and LTA will be 800 p.m., LTA would be 2 months of basic (annually) and PF would be 12% of Basic. But how do I give the Special Allowance?Do I do a flat 20% on the special allowance too? While I understand Special Allowance is the balancing amount,is there a specific rule for Special Allowance in terms of percentage? Or is there a law that the hike has to be given to the Total Salary rather than each cmponent?
