Viral Instagram Clip Claims Employer Spends ₹3,700 a Day on a Delhi Worker’s Perks Beyond CTC

The unverified tally prompts a closer look at how office benefits shape what compensation feels like in practice.

Overview

  • Instagram user Gaurav Dhama shared a video that went viral as he itemized workplace perks at his Gurgaon office and claimed they total about ₹3,700 per day beyond his CTC.
  • His list included ₹950 for a morning cab from Delhi, ₹250 for lunch, ₹200 for four coffees, ₹150 for a gym session, ₹150 for indoor games, and ₹1,250 for an evening cab in peak traffic.
  • He extrapolated the daily sum across 22 working days to cite a monthly total near ₹81,400.
  • Hindustan Times and News18 described the clip as user-generated content, said they had not verified the amounts, and reported no comment from the employer.
  • The video drew jokes and fresh talk about work-from-home tradeoffs, and it also highlighted that CTC in India refers to a company’s total cost for an employee rather than take-home pay.
