❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Salary & Tax Slabs

What is the difference between CTC and In-Hand Salary?

Cost to Company (CTC) represents the total annual financial expense an employer incurs for an employee, including retiral benefits such as Employer EPF contribution (12% of basic) and Gratuity accrual (4.81% of basic). In-hand or take-home salary is the actual net cash transferred to your bank account every month after deducting Employee EPF, Professional Tax, and Income Tax (TDS).

Why is gross salary up to ₹7.75 Lakhs completely tax-free under New Tax Regime?

Under the revised Section 115BAC New Tax Regime, salaried individuals receive an increased flat Standard Deduction of ₹75,000 under Section 16(ia). Subtracting ₹75,000 from a gross annual salary of ₹7,75,000 reduces your taxable income to exactly ₹7,00,000. Under Section 87A, taxable income up to ₹7,00,000 receives a 100% tax rebate (up to ₹25,000), resulting in zero net income tax liability.

Is Gratuity deducted from my monthly salary?

No, Gratuity is not a monthly salary deduction from your gross pay. It is an employer component included within your overall CTC structure, calculated as (Basic / 12) × (15 / 26), roughly 4.81% of your basic pay. It is only disbursed to you when you complete at least 5 continuous years of service with the organization.

How does EPF contribution impact my in-hand salary?

By default, 12% of your monthly Basic Salary is deposited into your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) account as Employee Contribution, which is matched by an equal 12% Employer Contribution. If your employer offers a capped EPF scheme, the contribution is restricted to 12% of ₹15,000 (₹1,800/mo), thereby increasing your immediate monthly take-home cash.
