Gross Salary is basically the total pay(fixed) that an employee receives before taxes and other types of deductions. On the other hand, the amount an employee takes home after all the deductions is called Net Salary.
Components of Gross Salary:
Basic, HRA, Medical Allowances, Convenience Allowances, Special Allowances, Other Allowances, etc.
