Salaries are always a pressing issue for bank exam aspirants. The information is not generally available in a very clear and crisp manner.
Below we will do a detailed breakdown of salaries that can be availed by PO, clerk and other bank exams, to help you decide which bank exam you should focus on.
Before giving the salary offered by different bank exams you first need to understand the terminology associated with salary given to bank employees.
1. Basic Pay or Basic Salary: Basic Salary is the most important component of the Salary. It is that amount which an organisation pays to an employee before any allowances are added or taken off. It forms the largest chunk of the salary and is taxable under Section 17 of Income tax act. EPF(Employee Provident Fund) and HRA are linked to Basic Salary.
2. Allowances: These comprise of amounts given to cover additional expenses incurred. They are given as a percentage of basic salary. Most common types of allowances for Banks and other PSUs are listed below:
(a) Dearness Allowance (DA) : It a cost of living adjustment allowance paid to Government and Public sector employess (PSU). In banks it is revised on a quarterly basis (i.e.every three months) based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which decides the inflation of the quarter. Hence Dearness allowance is proportional to inflation. Basically higher inflation means more DA and vice versa.
(b) House Rent Allowance (HRA) : The House Rent allowance is given to the employee to meet the rental expenses for his/ her accommodation. According to Income Tax Act, Section 10 (13A) and Rule 2A of the Income tax rules, the employee is exempted from paying tax on HRA.
The exemption is the least of following:
Actual house rent allowance received from the employer.
Actual house rent paid minus (10% of the basic salary + DA) .
If living in a metro(Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai), then 50% of basic salary
Else it is 40% of the basic salary
As you must have figured out , HRA depends on the place of posting.
(c) Special Allowance : This allowance is also sometimes referred to as performance bonus. This is paid over and above basic salary.
(d) CCA : This is Compensatory City Allowance. It is paid for covering the cost of living in an expensive city.
(e) Conveyance allowance : It is paid for commuting between home and office.
