Understanding Salary Components

Basic Salary: Forms the foundation of your salary. PF and gratuity are calculated on this amount.

HRA (House Rent Allowance): Tax-exempt if you pay rent. Exemption is calculated based on rent paid, basic salary, and city of residence.

Provident Fund (PF): Both employee and employer contribute 12% of basic salary. Employee contribution is tax-deductible under Section 80C.

Professional Tax: State-specific tax deducted from salary. Maximum ₹2,500 per year.

Income Tax: Calculated based on applicable tax slab. New regime has simplified slabs with lower rates but fewer exemptions.
