How a ₹9 lakh CTC becomes ₹69,396 in hand
A ₹9 lakh CTC translates to a taxable gross of roughly ₹71,396 a month once employer PF and gratuity — which are part of your CTC but never paid as cash — are set aside. After the standard deduction, the estimated annual income tax (including 4% cess) under the new regime is ₹0, leaving about ₹8,32,755 a year, or ₹69,396 a month, after employee PF and Karnataka professional tax.
For this salary, the new regime gives the higher take-home — about ₹76,306 more per year than the old regime under default assumptions. That gap moves if you claim significant HRA, 80C investments, NPS, or home-loan interest, which only the old regime allows.
