A stated 15% including bonus may not mean fixed salary rose by 15%, so split the components.
Two percentage increments apply one after the other and should be compounded, even within one year.

A hike applied only to basic pay cannot be read as the same percentage increase on total CTC.
Compare fixed and variable parts separately before treating 7.2 lakh plus a bonus as larger or smaller than 8 lakh.
Two increases compound: 10% and then 8% produce an overall rise of 18.8%, not 18%.
The needed percentage depends on the current number; from 50,000 to 60,000 it is 20%.
Moving from 38,000 to 44,000 is an increase of 6,000, or about 15.79%.
A 12% hike on 45,000 adds 5,400, so the new monthly figure is 50,400.
