SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Extra perks beyond a regular salary

The idiom fringe benefits refers to extra advantages given to employees in addition to their regular wages or salary.

Examples include medical insurance, a company car, free meals, housing or paid holidays; they are "on the fringe" (edge) of the main pay.

They are not secret, not the basic salary before taxes, and not merely the minimum legal benefits.

Example: Along with a good salary, the job offers fringe benefits such as health cover and travel allowance.

Hence, Extra perks beyond a regular salary.
