Where the tax comes from
Taxable income is ₹12,57,800, which reaches the 15% slab. Every extra rupee is taxed at 15.6% including cess, while the effective rate on gross is 4.8%. Marginal relief under section 87A is trimming the tax just above the ₹12 lakh cap.
When the old regime wins
You would need at least ₹5,54,000 of old-regime deductions a year — 80C, HRA exemption, home loan interest, 80D combined — before the old regime pays more than the new. Below that, the new regime saves ₹1,44,373 a year.
Hike to the next rung
Reaching 15 LPA is a 7.1% hike and adds ₹5,354 a month in hand. Dropping to 13 LPA costs ₹2,524 a month. Check any percentage on the hike calculator.
14 LPA sits in the marginal relief band
Taxable income of ₹12,57,800 is just over the ₹12 lakh rebate cap. Marginal relief limits your tax to the income above ₹12 lakh, so tax rises almost rupee for rupee here: of the next ₹1 lakh of CTC only ₹64,244 reaches you. The next step, where marginal relief runs out, comes at a CTC of about ₹14,14,000.
This is where employer NPS pays the most. Moving 14% of basic (₹78,400 a year) into employer NPS under 80CCD(2) cuts tax by ₹60,112 a year, and monthly in hand changes by −₹1,524 a month.
