Be willing to leave the negotiating table or share rational for asking the hike.

How do I share a rational? The response to everything is that your current CTC is low so this is the best what we can do.

When you are being low balled, you have to be brutally honest you are being underpaid in your current role and state what is the range for this offer in the market and make your concern in a positive way by saying you like their company if you genuinely do. If that doesn't work try to showcase what you are being offered in other companies and say you are interested in their company.. it is not a guaranteed way .. it depends on how bad they need to fill that position, how great you have done with their interview, and how quickly they want to close this !!
