Hi Shalini,
The contents of the salary break up may be as below, you can prepare it at the suitability of your own. HRA would be 50 or 60% of basic.
Basic
HRA
CCA - 825/- is exempted from tax
Other Allowance
Mobile Reimbursement
Medical Reimbursement of 1250/month is exempted from tax
Gross Per Month = Sum of all the above.
Gross Per Annum= 12*Gross/Month
PF Contribution= 12% of Basic/Annum
ESI Contribution = 4.75% of Gross/Annum
Medical = The mediclaim facility provided to an employee who are not covered under ESI as the maximum ceiling for ESI is 10000/Month.
Getting more than this will be covered under Mediclaim or it depends on company policy
EX-Gratia/Bonus = A fixed amount as Bonus
Annual Fixed Gross Cost= Gross/Annum+ Ex-gratia
Annual Total Cost = AFGC + PF+ESIC
Annual total cost is also called as CTC.
Apart from this Food coupons, Holiday package and Furnishing items are included in their CTC.
Hope it must help you to clear your queries up to some extent.

Thanks Gowri for appreciation..
For sales team also structure would remain almost same..
only thing conveyance would not be added in their salary structure unless it is fixed for a month.. Mobile reimbursement may be added as a fix amount per month, if it cross the fixed limit then after producing the bills of same with a special approval from his senior that can be reimbursed..
Hope it must have solved your query...
