I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.
In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.
I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.
Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

Hello fam. T&E is back online.
Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.

Hello Folks,
My LWD with current organization is on 30-Sep-2022.
I have an offer with HCl and joining date is on 3-oct-2022.
I have cleared the TCS technical and managerial round and got an email to upload the documents to proceed further with HR discussion, an I have done it yesterday.
But my priority is to go with TCS, but the doubt is will TCS provide offer or joining letter before 30-Sep-2022, because only 6 days left to complete my LWD.
Any suggestions to handle this.

To answer some of your questions: the easiest way to manage the property would be with a property manager. Find a good one and you shouldn't need to do anything-- that's their whole business.
As for the finances: if you're going to buy it with the intention of living in it and then renting it make sure the numbers make sense as a rental. Typically a really expensive bur nice SFH with high end appliances / floors / etc doesn't make sense as a rental.
If you're going to buy and sell the general advice is to do it if you're going to be in the house for 3 years or longer. If shorter it's generally better to rent.
general rule of thumb is it will take you 5 years to build enough equity to cover closing costs on the buy (financing costs) and the sell (realtor costs). With interest rates where they are now, it is likely 6-7 years.
Being a land lord from another state is hard, and from and from another country is unreasonable. You’ll be bleeding money to property management company.
Absolutely would not buy a home right now if I was not planning to be there for less than 5 years.
You can exclude up to 250k of capital gains if you live there at least two years.
Are you saying you are considering buying in the US or in your international destination?

The case for doing it is dependent on your local market and how real estate appreciates over the next 5+ years. The reason most of us like real estate is because it’s a leveraged investment. If I buy a house for 100k I put 5k down and get a 10% return I make 10k as a return. I do all that ideally without paying the payment. If I put 5k into stocks and get a 10% return I make $500. We don’t want everything in a single asset class so we do both. I’ve bought real estate in other countries and it doesn’t perform like the U.S.. None of us have a crystal ball to determine the future. The data does indicate that historically things are out of balance between wages and house prices. The supply sets prices which is still low. This tells me if the supply issue is resolved through a stumble in the economy, or new inventory coming online prices would easily tumble and probably fall back into the historical trend. Without fixing supply we enter stagnant prices, where affordability isn’t there and supply is low so prices don’t drop. I think that’s where we’re heading as we go into winter speaking generally. There will still be hotter and cooler markets. Years out is harder to predict. I think you’d be lucky to find a rental that would make sense at current interest rates and home prices. I’d be patient in your situation at a minimum until after peak season. November-January is a better time to buy investments, sometimes it can be 100k difference. I have rentals in Colombia. I have local property management. We make it work. Managing it from here would be nearly impossible without my local team.
