New Labour Code Impact at 10 LPA — 2025
Under the New Labour Code, basic salary must be at least 50% of CTC. At 10 LPA, this means a minimum basic of ₹41,667/month. If your current basic is below this threshold, your employer must restructure your salary components — typically by reducing allowances like HRA, conveyance, or special allowance to accommodate the higher basic.
How This Changes Your PF
Higher basic means higher EPF contribution. At 50% basic on 10 LPA, your employee PF contribution rises to ₹5,000/month vs the current ₹4,000/month (typical 40% basic structure) — a difference of ₹1,000/month in take-home. Annually, that is ₹12,000 less in hand but more in your EPF corpus, which earns 8.25% tax-free interest.
Gratuity Impact
Gratuity is calculated on basic + DA. With higher basic under the new code, your gratuity entitlement after 5 years increases proportionally. At ₹41,667/month basic, the gratuity after 5 years is approximately ₹1,20,193 (formula: 15 days × years / 26). The new code also extends gratuity eligibility to fixed-term contract employees after just 1 year of service.
Tax Context at 10 LPA
New regime is better unless you can claim HRA + 80C + 80D exceeding ₹2.75 lakh. With higher PF deductions reducing take-home, optimising your tax regime becomes more important — every rupee saved in tax offsets the reduced in-hand from the higher PF contribution.
