Practice Drills: Structuring a Sample Salary for Tax Efficiency

A hands-on companion to Understanding Tax Implications of Salary Structuring. Instead of more theory, you work a single sample CTC of eighteen lakh rupees from raw numbers to a finished, tax-efficient structure: sorting every component into taxable, exempt or flexible, computing the HRA exemption step by step, building the full tax computation under both the old and new regimes, and reshuffling the structure using NPS, flexi-benefits and meal cards to see the take-home difference. Every drill uses real numbers you compute yourself, not a narrated case study, and the final lesson hands you a second CTC to structure on your own.
