Understanding Your Indian Salary Slip
Why is In-Hand Salary so much lower than CTC?
Indian CTC typically bundles indirect company expenses including: Employer PF contribution (12%), Gratuity provision (4.81% of basic), Medical Insurance premiums, and Variable/Performance bonuses that are only disbursed annually. Subtracting these plus mandatory taxes leaves your monthly in-hand cash.
Which Tax Regime is better for tech professionals?
For salaries up to ₹15 LPA without heavy home loan interest or large 80C investments, the New Tax Regime is typically more beneficial due to lower slab rates and a ₹75,000 standard deduction. For packages exceeding ₹20 LPA with substantial HRA exemptions (high rent in Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurgaon) and 80C/80D deductions, the Old Regime may occasionally yield slightly higher savings.
