Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Same as fincalculator.in but Simple Answer
Why is my in-hand salary so much lower than my CTC?
CTC includes employer EPF (12% of basic), gratuity provisioning (4.81%), group insurance and variable bonus — none of which reach your bank monthly. From gross, employee EPF, TDS and PT are deducted. With basic at 50% of CTC, in-hand is about 85% of CTC up to ₹14 lakh, falling to about 72% at ₹30 lakh and 66% at ₹50 lakh as tax rises. Check exact on pocketsalary.in
How is TDS on salary calculated?
TDS = (Taxable Income after 75k standard deduction) as per slab FY 2026-27. For 12 LPA, taxable is 10.24L, but rebate under 87A makes TDS Zero. Above 12.75L, TDS starts. TDS is divided by 12 months, but Jan-March jumps because employer adjusts for investment proofs.
What is the ideal basic salary percentage in CTC?
Ideal is 50% of CTC for private IT companies in Pune (Hinjewadi, Baner). If basic is less than 50%, your PF and Gratuity reduces, in-hand increases but retirement corpus less. If basic is more than 60%, PF cuts more, in-hand less. 50% is balanced for tax and PF.
Is professional tax deducted in every state?
No. Professional Tax is ₹2,400 per year in Maharashtra (Pune), Karnataka, West Bengal etc. But not in Delhi, Haryana, UP. So if you work in Gurgaon, PT is 0, in-hand ₹200 more per month.
How is HRA exemption calculated?
HRA exemption = Minimum of (Actual HRA, 50% basic for metro like Pune/Mumbai, Rent - 10% basic). Example: Basic 6L, HRA 3L, Rent 2.4L (20k/month) in Pune - Exemption is ₹1.8L. This lowers taxable income. Old regime only.
What standard deduction do I get under each regime?
New Regime FY 2026-27: ₹75,000 auto-applied, no need to show proofs. Old Regime: ₹50,000 + HRA + 80C (1.5L) + 80D etc. For 12 LPA with no investments, New Regime gives ₹6,660 more in-hand per month. Check comparison on pocketsalary.in
Why does my TDS suddenly jump in January to March?
Because employer deducts TDS equally Apr-Dec based on declaration, but in Jan, if you didn't submit 80C, HRA rent receipts, then employer recalculates full tax and deducts remaining in Jan-Mar. So TDS jumps 3x in last 3 months. Submit proofs in Dec to avoid.
Is there a limit on employer NPS, and what happens above it?
Yes, employer NPS up to 14% of basic is tax free under 80CCD(2). Max ₹84,000 for 6L basic. Above ₹7.5L per year (PF + NPS + Superannuation combined), excess is taxed as perquisite under Section 17(2)(vii). So high salary people keep employer NPS within 7.5L limit.
