The official name of that is CTC. As you said, if your CTC is 10 lakhs, you end up getting 7.5 lakhs in hand. Annually. Around 60,000 per month. That is NOT a lot of money these days, especially so you have a family with kids. Now: The “pay package” thing in India is a big scam. The official name of that is CTC.

But what about other jobs? A kid who cleans leaves from his neighbors earn more than $100 per day in USA . In india you have to work for 30 days to earn anywhere $50 to $100. Also many use companies run with 5 to 10 people only and their turnover is millions. I have 6 staff's who finished B.E in IT. They even don't know html, and how to use ftp programs etc. During interview ask anybody which language they know, everybody tells that they know C, C++, JAVA. After hiring ask them to do simple coding, they are simply telling , sir we only know what we learned in college, we cannot able to code anything new. ok IT people are getting low pay comparing to USA.

But in Foreign countries skilled professionals are low in number. For example a medium sized company in switzerland has 25 - 50 employees means, an Indian software [medium sized] company has 200 - 500 employees. I think these are all the reasons for less pay in India. There are lot of things to consider about this. Indian IT Professionals are worst paid because

But problem is, PPP cannot be used in official matters or exchanges. It is just a guide to give you a better understanding of a currency's cross-border value. And the info in this post is very tempting. I want to pack my bags and go to Switz. ;) Good post and yes I do agree with PPP. But problem is, PPP cannot be used in official matters or exchanges.
