Wannabe flyer is right . As per GOI tax laws the employer has to deduct tax at source and deposit it with the Govt. But it wont be a 4000 usd loss for you. The Indian companies cleverly have what are called voucher payments like conveyance/layover/meal allowances etc which are tax free which should see you net about 11000 usd . Southern Indian bases like Vomm or Vobg are good . Average flying 75 to 80 hrs . Not a bad choice if you are unemployed.
