    Pay slip/ Salary slip Details with Basic pay, PF, Allowance, Deductions, Taxes and Gratuity

    Lots of us struggle to figure out what are these details in “Payslip” also called as Salary slip, particularly during the early stage of our career.   Nowadays almost all the concerns pay their employees directly into their bank account and they gave a payslip which depicts their full payment details. Here are the details of payslip from A-Z, hope it helps you!

    Payslip - a slip of paper included with your pay that records how much money you have earned and how much tax or insurance etc. has been taken out. It is document that gives the details of the salary of an employee during the particular period. Normally the salary is paid on monthly basis. The Salary Slip / Pay Slip gives the details of the particular employee like Days Present, Days Absent, Basic Earnings, Other Allowances and the Deductions of Taxes and other dues. 



    By looking into a salary slip we across lots of new terms like Basic pay, allowance, deductions etc., But before these there come one common word CTC, CTC stands for Cost to Company. It’s nothing but the cost spends by your company directly or indirectly because of employing you.  In employee prospect it’s the money given to you, in company prospect it’s the money spent because of you.


    Some of the main elements in our salary slip are Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance (DA), Provident fund (PF) Incentives or bonuses, Conveyance allowance, House Rent Allowance (HRA), Medical allowance, Leave Travel Allowance or Concession (LTA / LTC), Vehicle Allowance, Telephone / Mobile Phone Allowance, Special Allowance

    Basic pay:

    Let’s start from Basic pay, so that it is easy to understand the whole concept easily. Basic pay is the main core of the salary. Depends on the grade of a person in a company basic pay is finalized. Based on the basic pay many other components are calculated. The best example is the calculation of provident fund (PF) is done by taking 12 % of your annual basic pay.

    Provident fund (PF):

    PF is a long term investment. It is one of the lowest risk investment avenues, as it is backed by the government. Each month, a certain percentage of your salary (usually, a percentage of your Basic Pay) is invested in it. This percentage varies from company to company, and is usually between 8% and 12%. (12% is the norm). It is mandatory for you to contribute 12% of your basic towards provident fund (PF). Your employer makes an equal contribution (12% of your basic) to your PF account. PF amount is excluded from Income tax.

    Dearness Allowance (DA):

    The Dearness Allowance is paid out to compensate for increase in the general cost of living due to inflation. DA is paid out every month. It is a taxable component of your salary.

    House Rent Allowance (HRA):

    For CBSE +2 Result -How to calculate Cutoff mark for Engineering and Medical with CBSE +2 Marks

    Since lots of students taking Engineering and Medical after completing their school studies from CBSE syllabus. Lots of students are still in confuse how to calculate the cutoff marks for Engineering and Medical admission through Anna University Counselling. Here we had explained briefly about this calcultion sapartely for Engineering and Medical.

    For Engineering Admission from CBSE :

    The first and foremost condition is that the student must had score 50% marks in 12th class are eligible to apply for engineering course.
     For Engineering three main subjects namely Physics, Chemistry and Maths are considered. Maths is the main core subject in Engineering and hence its mark is given more important while calculating cutoff marks.
    Step 1 : Divide maths mark by 2 - - ans1
    Step 2 : Divide physics marks by 4 - - ans2
    Step 3 : Divide chemistrys marks by 4 - - ans3
    Step4 :  Add ans1+ans2+ans3 which gives the cut off mark out of 200

     Example if you had scored 198 in maths, 188 in Physics anf 196 in chemistry 
    Step 1 : 198/2 = 99
    Step 2 : 188/4 = 47
    Step 3 : 196/4 = 49
    Step 4 : Cutoff mark = 99+47+49 =195
                                 Cutoff mark for above mentioned mark is 195

    For Medical Admission from CBSE : 

    Its almost same as above mention, but Biology mark is considered insted of maths marks in the Medical admission.

         Based on your Cutoff (out of 200), ranking will be provided. Based on your overall rank you will be called for counselling. On that day, you can select the colleges which are available for your cutoff. For counselling separate application will be issued for medical and Engineering which had been in progress.
