Salary negotiation!

Salary Negotiations

I have received an offer with 7 LPA CTC from a global company, to join their Pune office.

Breakdown-

Base - 35k

HRA - 14k

Special allowances - 7.5k

Gross - 56.5k, CTC - 58k, take home - 54.5k

All figures are per month.

Should I try to negotiate to convert HRA and allowances to base salary? Will it make any difference? What's the probability they'll listen? Is there any benefit to me if I do that? Maybe in future for switching? Or CTC only matterns, not the breakdown..?! I'm fresher, appreciate any guidance.

(I don't have any other offer if that matters, but I'm actively searching for better one)
