Is my salary slip wrong? There is no mention of salary cutoff of 50% due to COVID 19 - why?

My salary was 30k from January 2020, I have hike letter. Salary cutoff of 50% due to COVID 19. I have quit my job in July 2020.
If I get the next job, will the salary negotiation be based on 30k or as per Net pay of salary slip?
Please check my salary slip (attached), if it is fine or do I need to request for 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 is based on special circumstances, and hence you need not rely on it.

I hope you might have been given an appointment letter/offer letter stipulating your salary. Also, there could be some earlier salary slips indicating your salary as 30k. This is sufficient to help you secure a job.

Hi Ananth,

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.
