Real tax rate
45.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.1% tax rate now rises to 45.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₹ 4,739,800 a year living in India, you will be taxed ₹ 1,852,594. That means that your net pay will be ₹ 2,887,206 per year, or ₹ 240,601 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.1% and your marginal tax rate is 43.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₹ 100 in your salary will be taxed ₹ 43.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₹ 56.80.
