Supplementary Allowances
It depends on the salary. You should first cover the major component, then if any balance amount is due, it can be put as a supplementary allowance.
Merit Pay
It's an additional amount that can be deducted from an employee's salary and paid quarterly, half-yearly, yearly, or monthly. It is deducted so that the employee does not leave the job quickly.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Understanding Minimum Wages in Salary Structure
When it comes to salary structure, Minimum Wages are also to be discussed and understood because non-compliance or payment of salary below Minimum Wages is unlawful and can attract penalties to the employer. Every state has different Minimum Wages, and they are revised every six months, which needs to be checked regularly.
So whenever you design the CTC structure of new joiners or consider increments, promotions, or transfers, one needs to first check whether it complies with the Minimum Wages.
