There can be a big difference between the gross amount your employer pays and the amount you actually see in your paycheck. The gross base pay is the amount your employer actually paid to employ you for the standard hours you worked during the pay period. Your net pay, on the other hand, is the amount left over after all taxes, health insurance premiums, retirement plan contributions and other deductions have been taken out.
Gross salary is what is agreed between you and your employer. Net salary is what you get after statutory and other deductions. To cite an example: Gross salary consists of: Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance, House rent Allowance, Conveyance Allowance, etc.et Salary is gross salary less the deductions which are made on account of statutory compliances(like PF, ESI, Income Tax, Professional Tax) and other dues (Like Loans and Advances taken) which you owe to the Company and Legal dues if any.
