Labour Codes 2025

Why your basic pay now matters more

The Labour Codes in force since 21 November 2025 count wages as at least 50% of total pay. Companies that kept basic at 30-40% of CTC are restructuring. At 9 LPA, moving from 40% to 50% basic changes the gratuity provision from ₹1,443 to ₹1,804 a month - money that comes back to you as a larger gratuity when you leave after eligibility. If your employer deducts PF on full basic instead of the ₹15,000 ceiling, the PF hit is larger: take-home becomes ₹63,996 a month.

Assumptions

How we calculated this

FY 2026-27 slabs (unchanged by Budget 2026), new regime by default with the ₹75,000 standard deduction and 87A rebate up to ₹12 lakh taxable income, plus 4% cess.
Basic pay is 50% of CTC - the minimum share of wages under the Labour Codes in force since 21 November 2025. HRA and other allowances make up the rest of gross.
Employer and employee PF are 12% each on basic capped at the ₹15,000 PF wage ceiling (the most common practice). Employer PF is part of CTC.
Gratuity provision of 4.81% of basic is shown inside CTC, as most Indian offer letters do. It is paid when you leave after eligibility, not monthly.
Professional tax of ₹200 a month (₹2,400 a year). Some states charge ₹300 in February or have no PT at all.
ESI applies only if monthly gross is ₹21,000 or less (0.75% employee, 3.25% employer).
No HRA exemption, 80C investments beyond PF, variable pay, or bonus. Old-regime figures count only employee PF towards 80C.
