How your salary structure changes take-home pay

Structure	In-hand a month (new regime)
Basic 50% of CTC, PF on full basic	₹2,04,442
Basic 50% of CTC, PF capped at ₹25,000 basic	₹2,28,918
Basic 40% of CTC, PF on full basic	₹2,11,316
Basic 40% of CTC, PF capped at ₹25,000 basic	₹2,29,884

Since 17 September 2026 the EPF wage ceiling is ₹25,000 a month. Employers who cap PF deduct at most ₹3,000 a month, which raises in-hand pay but puts less into your EPF. Under the labour codes, basic pay plus DA must be at least half of your pay, so structures with a low basic are being phased out.
