Service weightage component in my salary - is it taxable? How are they allocating?

Hi, hope you all are doing well. In my salary, I am getting some amount as a "service weightage," and that is clearly mentioned on my payslip as well. I did some research on the internet regarding this but could not find a proper answer. Can anyone please explain what service weightage is? Is it taxable? How is that amount allocated to every employee?

Regards,

Hi,

Service Weightage, whose value depends on the employee's number of years of service in the organization. For example:

Below 3 years of service - Rs. 300
Above 3 years, but below 7 years - Rs. 450
Above 7 years of service - Rs. 600

Please note that this amount is fully taxable.

I am doing an internship at NHPL. I would like to know how MIS will help in payroll. Where will MIS get information regarding payroll? Please help me out with this because I am working under the payroll process.

Kindly send me which MIS reports are involved in payroll. I observed a few such as headcount, CTC report, overtime report, attendance report, transfer report, etc. Please send them as soon as possible.

Normally, Basic pay increases for service weightage. There is no separate component for service weightage on the payslip based on my experience.

Dear Kandiban,

Aditya is correct. The service weightage amount is based on the length of service put in by the employee. It will be paid as decided in the LTA. Some organizations include this amount in the basic salary, while some organizations pay it as a separate component.

When are we supposed to pay this service weightage amount? Is it on completion of 1 year along with appraisal amount, or is it paid monthly as a component in the pay? Does this differ from state to state or is it applicable all over India? I want to know the procedure followed in Karnataka. Is it calculated on some percentage basis or a fixed amount as mentioned by a member above.

Please help on an urgent basis! Thank you.

Who completed 240 days for that employee; only we have to pay.
