Is a 30% hike good for a software role in India?

Short answer: 30% is strong. In many teams it means a level change, a switch, or a counter. Read the variable and the level before you treat the percent as cash.

The arithmetic

₹18,00,000 to ₹23,40,000 is 30%. Monthly CTC increase is ₹45,000. Real hike at 5.5% inflation is about 23%.

If a chunk is variable, joining bonus, or ESOPs, the monthly credit is smaller than 30%. The hike tab shows CTC math. The in-hand tab is the next check.

What to ask

Confirm level, what is fixed versus variable, and the scope this number expects. Then sign.
