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 found a great great home near family perfect location to things, decent size, but is expensive. I don’t have $120k to just drop for the down payment (I want to have money left to furnish or just spend) my salary is under 6figs and even if it wasn’t I feel like it’s still not enough to rack up $60k within 1ish year. Does anyone have any side business or alternative income ideas to earn more money? I don’t wanna go an FHA loan for the 3.5% cause mortgage will be very high. Thoughts?
