But, this is not the biggest salary hike. In the year 2011, a huge 12.6% increment was recorded. Till 2016, the growth of pay rise was recorded in double digits as the employees received a hike of 10%. After that, due to demonetization, the salary hike started to drop down.

But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you are not going to get a good hike. The hike is already better (a little better) than last year.
Especially, if you work in the consumer internet and professional services sectors a hike of 11% in coming for you this year. For all the other five sectors including those mentioned above, life sciences, automotive and consumer products are expected to offer double-digit increment to their employees this year.
The partner and head (emerging markets) at Aon, Anadotup Ghose was quoted saying, “This year the salary hike is at a three-year high, but in reality, it’s marginally up. And the reason for that mainly depends on two factors: reasonable expense management and, second, more differential pay arrangement based on performance.”
This means if you gave your 100% to the company your efforts will be rewarded. The employer might give you 1.9 times the average pay hike for the employees with high performance.
