Understanding Your 24 LPA Package In-Hand Salary

When an employer offers a package of ₹24 Lakhs (24 LPA CTC), your gross monthly pay is ₹2,00,000. However, the actual credited amount in your bank account (net take-home) depends on mandatory statutory deductions such as Employee Provident Fund (EPF), Professional Tax (typically ₹200/month), and Income Tax (TDS).

Key Takeaways for 24 LPA CTC

  • For a 24 LPA CTC package, taxable income crosses the Section 87A rebate limit, incurring an annual tax of ₹4,03,000 under the New Regime.
  • Net monthly in-hand salary is approximately ₹1,54,217 under the New Regime compared to ₹1,46,694 under the Old Regime without additional deductions.
  • Employer NPS contributions under Section 80CCD(2) up to 14% of basic pay can further reduce taxable income.
