You can and the company will oblige. Also shift from a job to consulting position at the company I did it many times and the companies were okay

You can't. As someone else mentioned, being a contractor is the only way because you pay 10% instead of 30% TDS, however you're then obligated to a 18% GST service tax which can be claimed back as a refund by your CA. It's a lengthy process but would save you around 10L per year

Challenge there is to get the company to agree. Big companies have fixed employment structure. You can't just go to them and ask them to hire you as a company

You can he an independent contractor, doesn't require a company. It's just like being an employee but without being classified as one legally.

Also if you can't get that done, then pay 30%, it's either this or that 😂

Reduce base to minimum for lifestyle+emergency+etc, opt for more RSUs instead (assuming it’s a public company). Capital gains tax has much lower rate than income.

Or, erm, donate to politicians

Capital gains only come into picture if you sell your RSUs 2 years post vesting. In that case it's considered ltcg and taxed at flat 20%.

But isn't RSUs taxed during vesting as well ?

Use vpf, invest 100% of your basic
Use corporate nps, 10% of your basic
Use fuel + driver reimbursement to the fullest

These will reduce taxable income by ~ 20 lakhs

And if you want more.. take home loan 😉

My advise is get a CA. They’ll handle everything. Pay him extra, do political donations ;) and stuff. CA will find a lot of ways to save you money

It’s so painful to see the amount of money I end up paying on the name of tax. Presently doing - 1.5L of LIC and pf + 50k NPS + HRA. What else can be done? My CTC is 55LPA.
