My salary was 30k from January 2020, and I have a hike letter. There was a salary cutoff of 50% due to COVID-19. I quit my job in July 2020. If I get the next job, will the salary negotiation be based on 30k or as per the net pay on the salary slip? Please check my salary slip (attached) to see if it is fine or if I need to request any changes from that company.

You need to peg it at Rs. 30K as this was your substantive pay, and you have the hike order to substantiate it. The salary reduction due to COVID-19 is based on special circumstances, and hence you need not rely on it.

I hope you have received an appointment letter or offer letter stipulating your salary. Additionally, there may be earlier salary slips indicating your salary as 30k. This information should be sufficient to help you secure a job.

Please exercise caution. The 'last pay drawn' might pose some issues. Ensure you get a salary certificate for the month when full pay was paid, as this could help you while the pay fixation is negotiated with a new employer. Also, you will be best supported if your previous employer issues a separate letter explaining the circumstances of a 50% cut due to COVID, mentioning the respective months. Of course, you'll have to obtain salary slips, bank statements, preferably for one year, and your latest IT returns to support your data.
