CTC Explained: Understanding Your True Salary in India

CTC (Cost to Company) is the total amount a company spends on an employee per year, including salary, allowances, and employer contributions. However, your actual in-hand salary is significantly less due to deductions like EPF, ESI, Professional Tax, and Income Tax.
