What does this mean?

Your total CTC stays the same. Under the New Labour Code, a higher basic means more PF and gratuity — building your long-term savings — while take-home may reduce slightly. This is the trade-off: less cash today, more retirement wealth tomorrow.

This is an estimate. Actual numbers depend on your employer's exact restructuring, state minimum wages, PF ceiling applicability, and other allowances. Verify with your HR/payroll team.
