Is it bad to have basic salary less compared to flexible pay. If the basic is 30% of gross, it's a government rule to have basic as 40 - 50% of gross which the company is not following and not ready to change the structure. I heard the advantage as in hand salary will be more in that case. But what are the disadvantages of this.

I always prefer to have a lower basic rather than flexible pay. It results in much stress for me to know what to rely on, but this is a personality issue for me as much as anything else. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand your question entirely in terms of the details, but I hope someone can address those more.

I am also slightly confused as to what you are requesting. Is there any way for you to rephrase the question more specifically? Much appreciated and apologies. If you are a high-performer flexible pay can be better and more motivating.

My question is related to the salary structure which has two parts, one is basic and other is the flexible pay which includes , hra, lta medical, transport etc. So is basic is less comparative to flexi part. What is the advantage and disadvantage

Less basic means less PF (employee + employer pf 12% each) (not good)
More basic means less HRA tax claim (not good but ok comparing to other points relatively)
Less basic means less leave encashment as basic plays important component in that (not good)


scenario:1 (30% basic)
Pf: 24% of basic (employee + employer)
7.2% of CTC (30% X 24%)

scenario:2 (40% basic)
Pf: 24% of basic (employee + employer)
9.6% of CTC

I feel, more basic salary it's better

I am exploring new roles and when I tell new co abt my expected salary (as per current market standards) they find excuses to not consider the bump and say “ Oh we can give from your current sal “ any tips on how to negotiate and match my pay (as per industry standards) as I don’t want to be underpaid..

Thanks!

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
