HRA

House Rent Allowance, given to help cover rental expenses.

Special Allowance

The flexible remainder of pay after fixed components are set.

Provident Fund

A retirement savings deduction, usually 12% of basic salary.

Professional Tax

A small state-levied tax, typically ₹200 or less per month.

TDS

Tax Deducted at Source, based on your applicable income tax slab.
