That calculation by Sameer may be exaggerated. But the fact remains that the monthly gross salary is 11600000/(12*53)~=18K I dont know what will be that post taxes. It is definitely a great package for a fresher but does not deserve a front page article on national new portal.

the PPP ratio ( Purchasing Power Parity) between US and India is 0.41:1. Hence the actual Indian equivalent of the salary is 1.16 cr* 0.41 which is 40 Lakhs, Which is still a lot of money for a fresher!
