Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good salary hike in India?+
A good hike is 8–15% annually in most sectors. For promotions, 20–30% is reasonable. Remember: India's CPI inflation is ~5% — a real salary increase is only the increment above inflation. A 6% hike in a 5% inflation year means only 1% real increase in purchasing power.
How is salary hike calculated on CTC?+
New CTC = Current CTC × (1 + Hike%/100). Example: ₹8L CTC with 15% hike → New CTC = ₹9.2L. Monthly increase = ₹1.2L ÷ 12 = ₹10,000/month more. Always clarify if the hike % is on CTC, gross, or basic — it makes a significant difference to take-home.
What is the typical CTC breakdown?+
Standard breakdown: Basic = 40–50% of CTC, HRA = 40–50% of Basic (metro), Special Allowance = remainder, Employer PF = 12% of Basic (capped at ₹1,800/month), Gratuity = 4.81% of Basic. Total fixed components typically = 80–85% of CTC, with variable pay making up the rest.
Is salary hike mandatory in India?+
No, salary hike is not legally mandatory for private employees in India. Employers are only legally required to comply with minimum wage revisions notified by state governments under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. Annual increments above minimum wage are at employer discretion based on company policy and performance.
