What is a Salary Slip?

A salary slip (also called payslip or pay stub) is a monthly document from your employer detailing how your salary is calculated. It shows every earning component (Basic Pay, DA, HRA, allowances) and every deduction (PF/NPS, income tax, professional tax) with the resulting net pay. Salary slips are essential for loan applications, visa processing, tax filing, and as proof of employment.

Components of a Salary Slip

Earnings

  • Basic Pay — from pay matrix (govt) or CTC breakup (private)
  • DA — Dearness Allowance (govt only, currently 60%)
  • HRA — House Rent Allowance (city-based)
  • TA — Transport Allowance (govt) or Special Allowance (private)

Deductions

  • NPS/PF — 10% of Basic+DA (govt) or 12% of Basic (private)
  • Income Tax — TDS based on tax slab
  • CGHS — health scheme (govt) or ESI (private)
  • Professional Tax — state tax (₹200/month)

How to Read Your Salary Slip

Start with Gross Salary (sum of all earnings). Then check each deduction. Net Pay = Gross - Total Deductions. For government employees, verify your Basic Pay against the pay matrix and DA rate against the DA calculator. For a detailed guide, read our complete payslip reading guide.

For private sector employees, use our CTC Calculator to understand how your CTC translates to the salary slip breakup.
