Hike table for ₹50 LPA
A hike of roughly 8% takes taxable income past ₹50,00,000, where a 10% surcharge lifts your effective marginal rate from 31.2% to about 34.3%. The first rupees past that line are cushioned by marginal relief, which caps the combined tax-and-surcharge increase at the extra income you earned — so a 10% hike here still nets you about 6.6% in hand rather than falling off a cliff. The table below marks the affected rows.

Old vs new tax regime on ₹50 LPA
On a ₹50 LPA salary the new regime charges ₹10,06,200 in tax, against ₹12,08,251 under the old regime with only the standard deduction, professional tax and EPF counted. For the old regime to win, you would need to claim more than ₹6,48,000 a year in additional deductions — HRA exemption, 80C, 80D and home-loan interest combined. That is achievable for someone paying high metro rent or a home loan, and out of reach for most others.
