Offer Letter Nuances & Salary Realities
1. Fixed Cash vs CTC Discrepancy
Out of the headline ₹3,60,000 CTC, the total annual fixed cash component credited to your bank account is ₹2,85,452. The remaining amount of ₹74,548 represents employer retiral contributions (EPF, Gratuity), health insurance, and variable performance incentives.
2. Variable Pay Timing
Annual bonus / ex-gratia of 95% is paid monthly as an advance component with year-end reconciliation. Do not rely on variable pay for monthly rent or EMI commitments.
3. Zero Tax under New Regime 2026–27
Because your taxable income after standard deduction is well below ₹12 Lakh, you pay ₹0 income tax under the New Tax Regime. Choosing the Old Tax Regime would require submitting rent receipts and 80C investments unnecessarily.
