Do you need CLEAR if you already have Global Precheck? Got Amex platinum which covers clear fee and wanted to see if it is worth it

They're different products for differernt purposes.

CLEAR is about skipping showing your ID and PreCheck allows you to keep your shoes on.

If it’s free there’s no reason not to deal with the minor enrollment hassle and then use it.

I’d never pay for it out of pocket though.

You are mixing so many things in this post lol
There is no such thing as “global precheck” - there is global entry and there is precheck, they are different things
Global entry allows you to skip standard customs when re-entering the US. It also includes TSA precheck, which is an entirely separate program that allows you to bypass standard security when entering a US airport.
Clear is a separate program entirely that allows you to skip standard security lines. Clear does not automatically include precheck though, you need both to achieve the full benefit.
What you need depends on what you use. How often are you actually traveling and how often are you traveling internationally?

Clear and pre check are a good combination. Pre check lines have been increasing, and clear will help you skip that.

I have both and choose the shortest line each time. CLEAR is nice as they escort you right to front of security line.

For free, it's fine to have, but be aware that quite a few airports don't have it, and sometimes the Clear line is longer the Precheck

Zero downside to have it and not need it. It’s largely worthless in Atlanta but quite clutch in JFK

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.
