CTC (Cost To Company) wo poori rakam hai jo company aap par saal me kharch karti hai. Ismein aapki salary ke alawa employer ka PF hissa, gratuity, insurance aur variable pay (bonus) sab shaamil hote hain — jo seedha aapke haath me nahi aate.
In-hand salary wo hai jo har mahine bank me aati hai — CTC me se saari katauti hone ke baad. Isi liye ₹8 lakh CTC ka matlab ₹66,000/mah haath me nahi hota; asli figure kaafi kam ho sakta hai. Job compare karte waqt hamesha in-hand poochein, sirf CTC nahi — yahi asli number hai jo aapke kharch chalata hai.
Salary me kya-kya katauti hoti hai?
Gross salary se ye teen bade cut hote hain:
- EPF: Aam taur par basic salary ka 12%. Aapka aur company ka dono hissa aapke PF me jama hota hai.
- Professional tax: State ka chhota tax, aksar ₹200/mah. Kuch rajya (Delhi, UP) me nahi lagta.
- Income tax (TDS): Aapke slab ke hisaab se company salary se kaat kar sarkar ko jama karti hai.
In-hand = gross − EPF − professional tax − income tax. Kabhi-kabhi chhote head jaise labour welfare fund bhi hote hain jo bahut mamooli hote hain.
EPF: kata hua paisa, par aapka hi
Log EPF ki katauti dekh kar dukhi hote hain, par ye galat soch hai. EPF aapka hi paisa hai jo retirement ke liye jama hota hai — aur us par 8%+ byaj milta hai, jo lagbhag tax-free hota hai.
Company bhi barabar (12%) daalti hai, yaani aapki total bachat dogni. Isliye "kam in-hand" ka matlab hamesha nuksan nahi — jitna EPF katta hai, utna aapka future fund banta hai. Agar aap aur bachat chahte hain to VPF (extra voluntary PF) se ye aur badha sakte hain, wahi accha byaj paate hue.
Old vs New regime ka asar
Aapki in-hand salary is baat par bhi nirbhar karti hai ki aap kaunsa tax regime chunte hain. New regime me ₹7 lakh tak ki income par tax lagbhag zero (rebate) hota hai — isse in-hand zyada aata hai, par 80C/HRA jaisi chhoot nahi milti.
Old regime me tax thoda zyada, par agar aapke paas home loan, HRA, 80C nivesh hain to chhoot ke baad kam tax aur zyada in-hand ho sakta hai. Dono ka hisaab laga kar hi chunein — company ko regime batana hota hai, jo aapka TDS (aur isliye in-hand) tay karta hai.
Job offer compare karte waqt
Do offer compare karte waqt sirf CTC mat dekhein. Ye sawaal poochein:
- In-hand monthly kitna hoga?
- Variable pay (bonus) CTC ka kitna hissa hai? (ye guarantee nahi hota)
- Basic salary CTC ka kitna % hai? (zyada basic = zyada PF/gratuity)
- Kya joining/retention bonus hai jo sirf ek baar milta hai?
Kabhi-kabhi kam CTC wali job zyada in-hand deti hai kyunki uska structure behtar hota hai. Isliye asli number — in-hand — par dhyaan dein, chamakdar CTC par nahi.
