Your base salary (INR 8.71L) is the most straightforward figure to mention. That's the guaranteed cash you receive. It's the most common number used in salary discussions. You can also mention the additional benefits (INR 60k WFH allowance) as a separate line item

ESOPs are tricky. While they have potential value, they're not guaranteed cash. It's best to discuss them separately, after establishing your base salary expectations. You can mention the vested value (INR 50k) or the potential overall value (INR 3L), but emphasize that it's a long-term benefit and not immediate cash. How liquid are the ESOPs? Are they readily tradable?

It is best to provide a range, that is based on your base salary, and the additional allowance. For example, you could say 'my current compensation is in the range of 8.7L to 9.3L

You can mention INR 9.80L as your CTC since WFH allowance is a benefit

If ESOPs are not guaranteed liquid cash they shouldn’t be included in negotiations
