CTC Concept In Bipartite Settlement
“Cost to Company”
(CTC) concept.
That CTC concept is a piece of financial
engineering whereby the compensation appears attractive on paper but when it
comes to in-hand salary, it could be as much as 30 to 40 % less than what is
promised. Broadly CTC consists of following components:
Salary including Basic Pay, DA, HRA and other
Allowances.
Perquisites and Reimbursement given to employees. This includes incentives, reimbursement of conveyance, medical benefits, leave encashment etc. Contributions made by
organizations to employee for Provident Fund, Gratuity, Medical Insurance, etc.
Determination of CTC is a professional method
adopted by a corporate and employees are appointed with a fixed CTC so that
there will be no hidden or variable cost of hiring an employee.
CTC is nothing but the cost that the company incurs
to employ you and keep you employed. It includes your pay and anything else
that the company may incur to keep you in employment. It’s important because a
lot of components of your CTC may not translate into actual take-home cash
every month.
We fear that employees may actually be worse off as
Bank managements could push variable pay through the backdoor, thereby
undermining the cardinal principle of labour rights – equal pay for equal work.
At present, a raise to Bank employees is given on gross salary, which primarily includes Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance, City Compensatory Allowance and House Rent Allowance (HRA) in some cases. Besides, there are various allowances for travel, newspapers, leased house rent (if HRA is not availed) and medical expenses, among others.
But CTC concept encompasses, every paisa the Bank
spends on an employee, from concessional rates of interest on loans to the
employer's share in the provident fund, might be shown as part of CTC/salary.
Taking into account there is already significant difference in the perks of small and large-size Bank employees and if the wage rise is given on the CTC, it would widen the gap in pay packages. Needless to underscore here Salaries of State Bank of India employees are, for instance, higher than other PSB peers.
For e.g. in the Software Sector where the CTC
salary concept is in vogue, it is ridiculous, as a sandwich given at the
Software Company to the employee is considered as costing Rs.800/- and a cup of
coffee as Rs.300/-.
As a broad thumb rule, what you get in hand will be
70% of your CTC. So if your annual CTC is Rs.5 lakh, you can expect to get an
annual take home of Rs.3.5 lakh or Rs.29,000/- per month.
CTC concept only will inflate Bank employee’s salary on papers. On 29th May, 2013 there was advertisement for recruitment in Navy, they have advertised that CTC for a Sub-Lieutenant would be approximately Rs.65,000/- per month (excluding the free medical facilities, LTC, canteen facilities, entitled rations, government accommodation, loans at subsidized rates. We would like to add here that Sub-Lieutenant is the lowest ranked in Navy and his Basic Pay is Rs15,600/- with grade pay of Rs.5,400/-.

DEMYSTIFYING CTC
HERE ARE LIES, DAMNED LIES AND CTC’S
NUBE circular 03 / 2013 dated : 11-06-2013 rightly explained what is Cost to the Company, net salary and gross salary which are some of the key components that form part of any individual’s salary structure.a transparent effort by a negotiating union Cost to the company is the figure what companies generally like or prefer to quote when they offer salary packages to potential job aspirants. The cost to the company figures can be quite misleading for new job aspirants while seasoned or experienced individuals usually are quite obviously aware of the differences after a couple of bitter experiences. At the end of it, the amount the person actually gets in hand can turn out to be significantly lower than what he/she would have originally imagined.
Eg:1
Ravi, a fresh software graduate, joined a top notch IT Company. For his first job, he was extremely happy with the total CTC of Rs 6,00,000. On the basis of this CTC, Ravi made lavish plans with his first month’s salary. Expensive gifts for family, a swanky new bike and the latest mobile phone. But with the first salary, he realized some of his plans had to wait. His take home salary was nowhere close to his estimation of his salary. He approached his HR, who then explained the breakup of his CTC, which he had just glanced over at the time of joining.
The Cost to Company refers to the total expenditure a company would have to incur to employ you. It includes monetary and non-monetary benefits, such as monthly pay, training costs, accommodation, telephone, medical reimbursements or other expenses, borne by the company to keep you employed. The total CTC as need not be the actual salary in hand at the end of the month. It is simply a sum of various components put together.
Eg 2
Let’s take a live example to understand this better. Arjun Malhotra recently got selected as an Assistant Manager in one of the leading Mumbai-based BPOs. It was his first job and he was offered an annual CTC package of Rs. 501624/- ‘ Wow that sounds cool’ he thought. He immediately did some rough calculations and estimated that his monthly salary would turn out to be Rs. 41,802/-. His happiness didn’t last long when he was provided the offer letter and then it dawned on him what a cost to the company or CTC package meant.
Basically a CTC package includes all of the cost factors (well almost) that a company spends on an individual. This primarily includes Employer’s contribution of provident funds, Gratuity, Mediclaim Insurance, Food Coupons, Loyalty bonus, and performance linked bonuses to name a few. When companies include all these factors naturally the salary has to look bloated.
From an employee’s perspective the inclusion of the aforementioned factors doesn’t reflect directly in his net salary or his take home salary. Net salary or take home salary basically means what you get in hand post the standard deductions such as PF, gratuity, and professional tax if applicable, etc. The other major factor that impacts your net salary other than the standard deductions is the income tax.
Now that we have explained you what a CTC and net salary means, let us try and explain you the meaning of “gross salary.” Gross salary is basically the salary that is quoted on your pay slip. Gross salary doesn’t include the additional components that form part of your CTC.
Now lets go back to Arjun’s example. Below is an extract from Arjun’s offer letter.

Showing 1 to 10 of 10 entries
The above table has been divided into two segments. The components on the left are the ones that are accounted for in his gross salary while the components on the right are the CTC components which don’t directly reflect in his take home pay. Most of these components such as performance bonus, gratuity, employer’s contribution of PF and canteen facilities do not get accounted for in his monthly take home but benefits he can derive in the long run. So if we all want to know what Arjun’s actual salary is – well it turns out to be just Rs. 33,000/- (Gross salary) which is approximately Rs. 8000/- less than his CTC. Once again there are also some additional components included in Arjun’s gross salary such as LTA that would be paid out to him at the end of the year or the food coupons (Sodhexo meal passes) paid monthly but in the form of coupons. This again differs or varies from company to company. Most companies offer Sodhexo’s as a tax saving gesture where the employees get to save a certain amount annually on income tax as the deducted amount is not taken into consideration for calculating income tax.
Other than what you get to see in Arjun’s offer letter, different companies have a variety of components that are considered under CTC. For instance most leading banks provide home loans to their employees on a heavily discounted rate of interest. The entire benefit the employees gain from the discounted rate is added to their CTC package which hugely inflates their overall package.

Himadri Shekhar Bhattacharjee, a bank officer in his thought provoking, informative study in his site ‘musing of life has adumbrated this spurious , perverse concept succinctly that it could be inflated by as much as 73%, if not more. See, how it can inflate the pay package of bank employees, irrespective of the actual money at hand, as can be seen below:

‘CTC’ emerged as a new and novel way to window dress salary packages to project them more than what one gets in his/her hand. Beware, the CTC concept is being toyed with, by FINMIN and IBA, to create a feeling that, bank employees are already getting more than what they deserve, so, there is no need for any further hike.But, it defies logic, why, government employees are kept untouched from this seemingly novel concept and pay commission structured pay and facilities are continued for them inspite of the stark disparity between pay of government employees and bank employees.Even State govt employees get more than what we get.
Let the Finance Ministry lead from the front and show it to the Nation how the CTC structure be implemented by moving all the MPs, MLAs, Ministers, PM, President etc etc as well as the Govt Employees to the CTC Model first. Lets not forget Charity begins at home first. So please preach what you Practice

Above all we have to increase our awareness and learning
