I'm living in Bengaluru with 45k monthly from past 6 years now. Salary has increased to only 50k now 🤣.

You can rent a room in 2BHK in some OK place for 10k. 10k for your expenses. If you like to party outside and drink then I think 50k might be a little less.

Plus if you are married it's a different story.

No offense to you bro but earning 50k even after 6 yrs of exp, Thank god I didn't take the offer 2 yrs back when I got a job from a software company after completing my graduation. Because right now, I am already earning 50k monthly but it's variable. Never earned less than 35k/month.

The question is meaningless unless you give more context: family and dependents, overall lifestyle (including alcohol consumption), location of office/home, etc.

Stay in shared basis rooms. Ask your colleagues if they know some places near to office location that way you save time energy and money during travel.
Buy a Bicycle - it keeps you healthy.

If you are married - still stay closer to office(s) (if she is working) in 1bhk.
Cook by your own.
Buy appliances and furniture from olx. Know your need and wants.
These are one time cost, rest 50k is enough to stay.

I don't think 50k is enough for a lifestyle in Bengaluru . Because lifestyle is too expensive there but exposure is also great if you are motivated to improve and switch to other companies in the future.

You can surely live with what you are getting unless your life style is very outgoing. It's like drinking old monk vs black label.
