Questions people ask
What is ₹6 LPA per month?
₹6 LPA means a CTC of ₹6,00,000 a year, or ₹50,000 a month on paper. After PF, gratuity, professional tax and income tax, the amount in your bank is about ₹42,598 a month in the new regime.
How much income tax do I pay on ₹6 LPA?
None in the new regime. Your taxable income comes to ₹4,74,570, which is under ₹12 lakh, so the rebate cancels the tax completely.
Is the old regime better for ₹6 LPA?
Only if your old-regime deductions (80C, 80D, HRA, home-loan interest, NPS) add up to more than about ₹0. Without deductions, the old regime would cost you ₹0 more a year.
Why does PF make such a difference?
If PF is calculated on your full basic instead of being capped at ₹3,000 a month, ₹0 less reaches your bank each month. That money isn’t lost: it goes into your EPF account, where it earns interest for retirement.
