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.
