Consolidated Pay Meaning in Salary

Consolidated pay means a total salary without any breakup, which means consolidated salary is not divided into salary components like basic wage, HRA, transport & medical allowances, etc. It can be paid on a weekly or monthly basis to the employees. 

For example, if an employee’s consolidated pay/salary is 50,000 Rs per month then he/she will get that amount without any salary breakup. (But remember consolidated salary will have deductions like PF, TDS and professional tax, etc).

Consolidated salary is similar to gross wage and CTC, but the major difference is consolidated pay doesn’t have any breakup structure.

Normal Gross Salary 50,000 RsConsolidated Salary 50,000 Rs

    for completion 3 years of service Rs.1000,
    for completion of 5years of service Rs. 2000,
    for completion of 7years of service Rs. 3000,

    Can any one let me know how to calculate my pay as per the given structure on completion of the service of 3years, 5years, 7years, 10years.

    15000+4000+2000 = 21,000 – for 5years
    15000+4000+3000 = 22,000 – for 7years
    15000+4000+4000 = 23,000 – for 10years or

    15000+4000+1000 = 20,000 – for 3rd year
    20,000+2000 – for 5th year
    22,000+3000 – for 7th year
