In general the cost of living in India is lower than the cost of living in the US. As an example : Lets assume I make $10K/month in the US. Of that after taxes, my take home would be around $6K/month. After expenses, I'd probably save $1K/month. The same $10K = approx INR400K/month in India. Assume tax is the same, my take home would be INR 240K/month. Expenses would be approx INR50-100K/month depending on lifestyle. So savings would be approx INR 140-190K/month. This is for the major cities in India. In rural areas, its very different.
