What this means in practice

This salary sits inside the tax-free zone created by Budget 2025 and retained in Budget 2026: salaried income up to ₹12.75 lakh effectively pays nothing under the new regime. Compare the same package in the UK or Germany, where comparable salaries lose 25–45% to tax and social contributions.

Common questions

What is the in-hand salary for ₹8 lakh CTC in FY 2026-27? +

With zero income tax (the Section 87A rebate covers it fully), the in-hand salary is ₹66,667 a month before PF — the full ₹8,00,000 a year.

How much tax on ₹8 lakh under the new regime? +

Zero. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction, taxable income is ₹7,25,000 — at or below the ₹12 lakh rebate limit, so Section 87A cancels the entire tax.

Does this include PF and surcharge? +

No — EPF depends on your basic-salary structure (typically 12% of basic), so subtract your monthly PF for the bank-credit figure. Surcharge only applies above ₹50 lakh taxable income.

Sources & method. Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026; section 202 covers the new regime and section 156 covers the rebate. New-regime slab rates match the prior FY structure, but the tax-year terminology and law changed. Resident salary up to ₹12.75L can yield zero slab tax after a ₹75,000 standard deduction and rebate, excluding special-rate income. Marginal relief applies just above ₹12L taxable. Surcharge, EPF and other deductions are excluded by default.
