Yearly NPS Contribution: ₹0 (Max 14% of basic)
PF, gratuity & professional tax (yearly)
These come out of your pay, so they lower your in-hand amount. Your own PF and professional tax give no tax deduction in the new regime (no Section 80C, no professional tax deduction). Employer PF up to 12% of basic and gratuity are part of CTC but are never taxed as salary, so they are removed before tax is worked out. Defaults: PF 12% of basic, gratuity 4.81% of basic.

New regime tax formula, with your numbers
Taxable income T = CTC ₹10,00,000 − employer PF & gratuity ₹84,050 + retiral perquisite ₹0 − standard deduction ₹75,000 − employer NPS ₹0, rounded to the nearest ₹10 = ₹8,40,950
R: taxable income is within ₹12,00,000, so the Section 87A rebate equals the slab tax, up to ₹60,000: R = ₹24,095.
P is the sum of the slab-wise breakdown above. H is nil up to ₹50 lakh of taxable income; above it the surcharge is 10%, 15% above ₹1 crore and 25% above ₹2 crore of P − R, cut by marginal relief at each step. K is 4% of P − R + H. The taxable income T and the tax are each rounded to the nearest ₹10 (Section 516 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, which carries over sections 288A and 288B of the 1961 Act); D is that last step.
