₨ 750
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₨ 625 to pay you ₨ 8,250. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 0.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
8.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.5% tax rate now rises to 8.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
