- PF uses 12% mandatory by default; higher PF mode applies selected rate.
- HRA is modeled at 50% of basic and professional tax is a flat ₹200/month estimate.
- Take-home = CTC − employee PF − employer PF − professional tax.

The Simple Explanation
The new labour rules change what counts as "Wages." By forcing your Basic Salary to represent a much larger chunk of your CTC, the basis on which Provident Fund is calculated expands significantly.
Since practically every mid-to-high earning employee in India currently relies heavily on allowances to maximize take-home pay, this restructuring guarantees a massive influx of funds into PF and Gratuity accounts across the nation.
