Increment
An Increment is a periodic increase in an employee's salary, generally awarded annually based on performance, market benchmarking, and company affordability. In India, annual increments are typically effective from April after the appraisal cycle, with average hikes projected in the 8-12% range for most sectors. HR bases increment decisions on appraisal ratings, bell curve distributions, and compensation survey data.
