Looks like something like:

CREATE TYPE LT_PAYMENT AS
(
  BASIC numeric,
  DP numeric,
  GRADE_PAY numeric
);

CREATE TYPE TYPE_CALC_TAX AS
(
  FIN_ROLE_ID numeric(8),
  CALC_FOR_ROLE_CODE numeric(8)
);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION some_function() RETURNS LT_PAYMENT  AS
$$
...
$$ LANGAUGE PLPGSQL;

I'd be studying the pl/pgsql documentation and the data type
differences (for number, you'd want to use int, numeric, or float8
depending on circumstances).
