According to a research-based survey by Aon Hewitt Survey, the average hike in salary in India has dropped almost 5% from 15.1% in 2007 to 10.2% in 2016. Further, the research also backed the figure to drop further to 9.5% in 2017, the worst since 6.6% after the 2009 global recession. The survey added that for high-earning people, the 9.5% hike might result in a negative real pay increase.
