❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is CTC vs take-home salary? +
CTC (Cost to Company) is the total annual amount your employer spends on you. Take-home is what you actually receive after PF, income tax, and professional tax deductions. Typically 65–80% of CTC.
New vs Old regime — which is better? +
New regime is better if you have few deductions. Old regime wins if you have HRA + ₹1.5L 80C + ₹2L home loan interest. Rule of thumb: if total deductions exceed ₹3.75L, old regime saves more tax.
Is income up to ₹12 lakh really tax-free? +
Under the new regime for FY 2025–26, income up to ₹12L is effectively nil-tax due to the enhanced Section 87A rebate. With the ₹75K standard deduction, CTC up to ₹12.75L = zero income tax.
How is PF calculated on salary? +
Employee PF = 12% of basic salary. Employer contributes another 12% (goes to PF + EPS). Statutory ceiling is ₹15,000 basic, but many companies calculate on actual basic. Both contributions reduce your in-hand but build retirement corpus.
