CTC refers to "COST TO COMPANY." This includes: GROSS SALARY + incentives that are provided by the firm. Incentives include many things like meals, medical facilities, phone facilities, housing facilities, travel allowance, etc. THE SUM OF ALL THE REWARDS AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO AN EMPLOYEE FROM THE EMPLOYER + THE SALARY IS TERMED AS "COST TO COMPANY." Hope this satisfies your query.

Just to add info - Gross Salary is the headline salary that an employee is paid prior to any deductions. Net Salary is what is actually paid into the employee's bank account, and Cost to Company includes Gross salary plus the Medical, Bonus, LTA, and other annual emoluments paid to the employee by the company.

Gross Salary means the salary before any deductions, i.e., before PF, ESIC, Insurance, etc.

CTC (Cost to Company)

CTC means the cost for the employee that includes in his/her salary. This includes:
- PF (both Employee and employer)
- ESIC (both Employee and employer)
- Insurance if any
- Any other non-cash or cash payout, all included in CTC.

In short, any cost to retain that employee is part of the CTC.

In CTC, we include Basic + HRA + TA + Other Allowance + Gratuity + Bonus + Employer PF contribution + Employer contribution ESI. These are all the components we include in the Cost To Company.

In Gross Salary, we exclude Bonus + Gratuity + Employer PF contribution + Employer ESI contribution. This means our total earning is our gross salary.
