Tax on 50lpa+

How much Money I have to pay in income Tax at a 20 LPA base salary.

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.

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?

I have always been very intrigued about managing my own finances, never hired a CA till now. 

But every year when the tax return filing time comes I run into the same thought - Am I paying too much taxes, is there a way to plan it better?

wanted to get some information on how are you guys managing your taxes. 

- Do you guys have a dedicated CA? does hiring a CA helps? 

- How do you plan your finances? investing/Saving/restructuring to avoid paying the maximum taxes? 

- Some people setup a side business to set off some recurring losses/expenses to some extent. Does that work in long term? 

- In terms of wealth generation, what is your strategy? How much you are able to invest? What assets are good in your POV?

P.S. - Before someone comes up with you need to pay taxes so India can grow. I understand your POV but IMO, I am not able to get the benefits/infra in return, but I with all my heart believe in India’s growth story.

People with 50L+ taxable income, how much taxes are you paying? is there a way to reduce that?

Staff Engineer

Can someone explain to me how exactly does the tax work once ur yearly income exceeds 50L?

As I understand, currently there is a surcharge on tax, but there is also surcharge relief as well? I read some articles online and was surprised to learn that surcharge is applied on the total tax you pay, not on the extra earnings above 50L (unlike tax slabs). 

I have some (probably dumb) questions on the topic, hope someone can help.

1. Is amount of 50L on total income or on total taxable income (after various deductions)
2. If I understand the marginal relief correctly, if two people have income as 50L and 51L, both of them will essentially have same post tax income because you will be paying the complete extra 1L as tax?
3. Are there other things I should be aware of regarding this?

I appreciate any help you can provide, thank you!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently received an offer from a early stage startup. But they told that that pay in contractual basis. when asked about the reason they told that it helps the company and employees to save tax.

How does it work?
will it affect my future employment if I take this job? like if I join some other company will they accept that I was actually working fulltime.

The role is fulltime, but only the money transaction will happen as contractual.

How does Contract salary work for a fulltime role

I am straight outta clg, asking for me and my friend. Dont know shit about taxes epf gratuity and esops etc, will study about it soon but just wanted to know the figures now so that i can tell it at my home.
Thanks Grapeviners and wish u a merry Christmas 🎄.

Percentage of Total CTC did you pay in tax ?

So this is something that I have been researching for a while, apart from very well known instruments such as-(only mentioning the ones that should be done by everyone irrespective)
* 1.5L annually through 80C
* 50k standard deduction 
* HRA claim
* Donation claims
* Insurance/Medical claims

How are you folks optimising your post tax income?
Would really like to hear it from people getting >= 24 LPA fixed, since from this point onwards a major chunk (almost 20% goes in taxes) and it really hurts.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Inspite of so many "better than earlier govts" reforms in the last 10 years...the govt hasnt done much needed reforms in the income tax regime.

The govt is doing a few good things like dissolving inept psu's, selling off entities like Air India (privatisation), etc.
But when and how  are we going to increase the tax base?? Why is govt failing to do so? It is high time we rationalise it. We cannot dream of becoming a prosperous country with such poor policies in place

What are the ways to save taxes if you are earning more than 60+LPA?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi all, I'm joining a new organisation and they are offering 22 LPA, how much would be the tax deduction under the new tax regime monthly/annual ? Your help would really be appreciated! 

Thanks in advance!

Tax Deduction

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!

Paying 29L as tax this year!!

I paid 43L last year. 😤😖 
 It feels like I own every inch of new BLR airport. 😅

Guys... I made some good decisions and ended up having an opportunity to pay myself 36 LPA but, that means, about 9.4LPA tax.

What do I do? I want to get a home loan so keeping a higher salary would make the banks happy but then I also lose almost half of it to taxes.

Any advice from high earners and other fellow startup founders?

Tax 😨😨😱

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.

I am salaried & have opted for new tax regime. I have zero liability (no EMIs, etc). Closed both my home loan & car loan. I live in my own house.

My yearly tax comes out to be around 12 Lakhs. I want to know if there is a scope to save taxes continuing with zero liability. I would not mind appointing a CA but I have no idea how to choose the best CA.
1. How much does a CA charge annually?
2. Is it really worthwhile to have a CA given the above?
3. What are some questions I must ask the prospective CAs so that I can assess their capability?
4. Salaried people that have already appointed a CA can share their experiences.
5. Is there any off-the-shelf ideas I can get here to save taxes?

Don’t you think it’s kinda not fair to tax people especially in metro cities who earn less than a lakh a month. The cost of living in these places are already so high and due to that they may not even be able to make any investments. 12 Lakh kinda sets a good entry level for taxes as 1 Lakh is a decent amount to live by I guess. 


Just looking to hear opinions on why it would not be beneficial that’s all. Not willing to hear or respond to any SJWs who want to act all high and mighty on the internet.
