How Salary Tax Works in India?

Your in-hand salary is calculated by deducting taxes and other amounts from your gross salary. The main components are:

  • Gross Salary: Base salary + HRA + Other allowances
  • Standard Deduction: Fixed ₹50,000 deduction under new tax regime (FY 2024-25)
  • Income Tax: Calculated based on tax slabs on taxable income
  • Professional Tax: State-wise deduction, typically ₹200-₹2,500 per month
  • Other Deductions: Insurance, EPF, NPS, health expenses, education loan interest

The new tax regime (introduced from FY 2023-24) offers lower tax slabs with standard deduction, while the old regime allows individual deductions like 80C, 80D, etc. Choose the regime that provides maximum benefits based on your income and deductions.
