Gross Salary: Basic salary + House Rent Allowance (HRA) + Special Allowances before tax and PF deductions.
Statutory Deductions: Employee Provident Fund (PF) (typically 12% of basic), Professional Tax, and Income Tax (TDS).
Net Take-Home Salary: The final disposable income available for rent, living expenses, investments, and savings.
