Project Manager

Alert: a rant post

Today I saw my payslip after a long time and WTH! I don't know what they'll take once bonus comes in. Paying this much for no water, bad air, corrupt babus and all those douche things.

As much as patriotic I am, this is just insane. On top of this add all the GST and sheet ton of other indirect taxes.

Living in India and paying like Europe. Wow!

Duck the government

Earning around 50 lpa at 24 is already a great feat. Still if u want to look at the dark side, nobody can help. This rant is more common than diabetes. Yet people will stress about same thing and rant to destress. Endless cycle. Either do something about it or bring some new perspective. P.S. I am in alignment with ur rant but I’ve made peace with the state of affairs as I am not looking to move out of India and I cannot strong arm govt. individually to change this.

Senior Product Manager

Hey folks
People who are earning 45-50 lacs salary ( in cash ) how much tax are you paying? Which regime did you choose? What are you doing to save taxes ? 

I really want to save on taxes so looking out for some suggestions from amazing people of this community. 😀

What's the Tax paid for 45-50 Lacs salary?

For a salaried employee ranging from 10 lpa to 17 lpa, which tax regime would you suggest for? Old vs. New?

Old vs New tax regime

Product Owner

Seems like since last year the focus of government has shifted from actually making beneficial policies to enable innovation and growth of India to just collecting taxes blindly. 

They just want to harvest tax in as many ways possible and kill the middle class person.

First it was crypto. 

Then us salaried individuals started receiving notices. 

Then they levied 28% GST on online gaming. 

Now they are also checking proofs for HRA allowance and other stupid stuff which wasn't done before. 

I was wondering why there is a sudden increase in such incidents? Is the government hiding something? Are they running out of money?

Or are they just smoking weed just like us and making stupid rules?

Nirmala tai is looting us

This government’s primary intention is to collect more and more taxes in whatever mean’s possible. They don’t give a f**k about anything. And then will brag every month/quarter about record GST collection! This government is pathetic to say the least! No accountability and arrogance is at its peak. We have come to a point where we can’t even question the government otherwise you will be termed as anti national.

What does "Tax deducted at source" mean? Cuz my company is deducting 200/- as professional tax already along with provident fund. Does anyone know or it's a fancy term for "pay us more tax"?

Help! Rs 38K income tax on 8.8L CTC (50 yrs old middle class man)

I got salary of 250000 in April which includes bonus + leave encashment around 90k, for which there was a 50k income tax cut for this month. HR said since bonus was more, they had to deduct 50k. Is this how it is usually done? Is that amount justified?

Income tax cut for bonus

Growth Manager

Hey folks,
I opted for the new tax regime when my CTC hardly touched the tax bracket. 
Now I earn 22LPA and my heart almost collapes after seeing the tax paid. 
2 ques: 
-Is it possible to move to the old scheme to save taxes?
- Given my salary, what are the best avenues to save tax?
Thanks 🙏

New to old tax scheme?

Hi, I have recently graduated and now I'm going to start my career as a software developer. Can you suggest me with resources  for managing finances along with taxes and how to do investments or guide me how I can manage my expenses by giving some tips?
 
My base is around 14Lpa. 
My rent is around 25kpm. And monthly necessary expenditure of around 15kpm.
I am not that well-versed with taxes also. I'm learning about them. Currently I invest 3k in MF every month.
I would like to your suggestions and advises for the same.

Personal Finance Tips for fresher

Congratulations - you're off to a great start! Thats a tidy income to start off with. 
  
 My advise, cut out all the noise and random friendly advise from all and sundry and keep it really really simple till you hit a 50L investment corpus. 
  
 0. Buy a Term Insurance (vanilla, no riders) for 2 Cr. Annual Premium. Till 65 years of age.  
 0. Buy a Health Insurance cover for 10L.  Annual Premium. 
 0. If your parents aren't insured, buy a family floater cover for them now.  15L. Annual Premium.  This may become impossible as they age. 
 1. Start a monthly SIP in a single Nifty50 Index Fund (UTI : HDFC / ICICI / Nippon / doesn't matter).  From your data I'd say put in ~40K per month. 
 2. Start a PPF account and maximise annual investment - 1.5L pa.  
 3.  Invest all bonuses / increase in salary in the same Index Fund.   
  
 Watch the magic of compounding begin.  You'll see the impact of laying this foundation only post 20 yrs.  
  
 If your salary (and as a result your SIP) doesn't change, you should hit 50L in ~7 years.  Faster if you get good salary hikes and appraisals. 
  
 When you hit 50L, diversify into other asset classes (SGB + Flexicap MF + Real Estate for own use).  Do not create clutter by adding MFs and complicate life.  Keep investments simple as you scale: 
  
 30% - Index Fund 
 30% - Flexicap 
 20% - Gold (demat) 
 20% - Debt (EPF/PPF) 
  
 Rebalance asset allocation annually. 
  
 Never invest or choose instruments for tax planning. Tax optimisation leads to suboptimal instrument choices with your money (Insurance / Debt / etc).

This should help everyone understand the true picture of income brackets Indians fall in, where do viners belong?

Earnings bracket wise

I'm thinking of going with the new regime and I'm really dumb with deductions.

From what I've read, other than the Employer's contribution to EPF, everything falls under taxable income.
