How it works

Quick answer

For ₹6 lakh CTC CTC under the new regime (FY 2026-27, metro), your in-hand take-home is approximately ₹45,238/month(₹5,42,856/year). Old regime: ₹43,862/month. The new regime saves you ₹16,506.048 per year unless you claim significant deductions (80C, HRA, home loan).

How ₹6 lakh CTC CTC breaks down

₹6 lakh CTC sounds like a large number, but only roughly 90% lands in your bank. Here's where the rest goes (assuming a typical 40% basic structure, metro HRA, new regime):

Employer PF (12% basic): ₹28,800 — part of CTC, not of gross. Builds your retirement.
Gratuity accrual (4.81% basic): ₹11,544 — paid out on exit after 5 years.
Employee PF (12% basic): ₹28,800 — your own retirement contribution.
Professional tax (state): ~₹2,400/year in metros. Negligible.
TDS (annual): ₹0 — your annual income tax under new regime.

Comparing offers at ₹6 lakh CTC

Two $₹6 lakh CTC offers can have wildly different in-hand because of structure. A heavy-basic offer (Basic 50%) gives you ₹5,10,285-ish per year because of higher PF; a leaner basic (30%) gives you closer to ₹5,64,570 — but builds less PF for retirement. Always ask for the salary annexure before accepting.
