What changes the number
₹6.5 LPA, under the choices that actually move it.
| Scenario | In-hand a month | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| New regime (the figure above) | ₹46,156 | — |
| Old regime, no deductions beyond your own PF | ₹45,604 | −₹552 |

- No income tax under the new regime: taxable income after the ₹75,000 standard deduction is ₹5,20,368, inside the Section 87A rebate's ₹12,00,000 limit.
- The new regime leaves you ₹552 a month better off than the old one (₹45,604), unless you can claim large deductions such as rent, 80C investments or home-loan interest.
- 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 ₹49,056 a month, but less goes into your PF account.
