Frequently asked questions

Who signs a salary breakup letter?+

It is usually signed by the HR manager or an authorised signatory from finance, on company letterhead with a seal.

How is a salary breakup letter different from a salary certificate?+

A salary certificate typically confirms employment and gross salary in a short format. A breakup letter goes further and lists each earning and deduction.

Can a salary breakup letter show annual CTC?+

Yes, you can add an annual CTC line, but banks usually focus on monthly gross and net pay, so keep monthly figures prominent.
