- Basic wages
- Dearness Allowances
- Retaining Allowances
- Conveyance Allowances
- Other Allowance
- Special Allowance
- Leave Travel Allowances
- Fixed cash Allowance (Management allowance, Educational Allowance, Medical Allowance, Telephone, Food Allowance, etc.)
- Petrol Reimbursement (without bills and without supporting documentation/data to substantiate the reimbursement is for official purposes)
- City Compensatory Allowance or any other allowance paid as a fixed component, uniformly and universally, having no direct nexus to the outcome of an employee’s normal work.
