What changes the number
₹5 LPA, under the choices that actually move it.
| Scenario | In-hand a month | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| New regime (the figure above) | ₹35,456 | — |
| Old regime, no deductions beyond your own PF | ₹35,456 | Same |
| PF on the ₹15,000 wage ceiling | ₹36,856 | +₹1,400 |
| A state with no professional tax | ₹35,665 | +₹209 |
- No income tax under the new regime: taxable income after the ₹75,000 standard deduction is ₹3,82,975, inside the Section 87A rebate's ₹12,00,000 limit.
- Both regimes give the same take-home here, because neither charges any income tax at this level.
- Professional tax in Karnataka is ₹200 a month (₹300 in February). States such as Delhi, Haryana and UP charge none.
- If your employer calculates PF on the ₹15,000 wage ceiling instead of your full Basic, your in-hand rises to ₹36,856 a month, but less goes into your PF account.
