This salary certificate shows that the deceased was earning Rs. 4,411/- per month. This amount also includes, city compensatory allowance, house rent and medical allowance. If we deduct these allowances, then the monthly salary of the deceased would come to Rs. 4,140/- and his yearly income would come to Rs. 49,680/-. After deducting 1I3rd towards personal expenses, the dependency will come to Rs. 33,120/-.
