Why ₹7 LPA Has Zero Income Tax
Under FY 2026-27 new tax regime:
- Gross = ₹5,48,084
- Standard Deduction = ₹75,000
- Taxable Income = ₹4,73,084
Tax slabs:
- 0–₹4,00,000: ₹0
- ₹4,00,000–₹4,73,084: 5% × ₹73,084 = ₹3,654
Section 87A Rebate: If taxable income ≤ ₹12,00,000, full rebate up to ₹60,000. Tax = ₹0.
Your TDS every month = ₹0. Your entire gross (minus PF and PT) goes to you.
₹7 LPA With PF Capped (Higher In-Hand)
If your employer caps PF at ₹1,800/month (very common in IT companies):
- Gross increases because more goes into Special Allowance
- Employee PF = ₹1,800 instead of ₹2,800
- **Monthly In-Hand ≈ ₹43,874**
Check your offer letter — most companies clearly state whether PF is capped.
