Accountant salary in India (2026)

Based on 6 live accountant jobs on OnJob.io that disclose pay, the median accountant salary in India is ₹4L per year (₹4,00,000). Most accountant roles fall between ₹3L and ₹4.5L, with the full range running from ₹2.5L to ₹5L. These are real, current listings — not a generic survey.

Yes. The ₹2.5L–₹5L range is computed from every live accountant listing on OnJob that discloses pay, which mixes entry-level, mid and senior openings. That is why the lower quartile (₹3L) sits well below the median — fresher and junior accountant roles cluster near the bottom of the band, while senior roles pull the top up.

We aggregate the disclosed pay on 6 live accountant jobs currently listed on OnJob.io, convert every figure to an annual INR amount, and report the minimum, quartiles, median and maximum. We only count INR roles that publish a salary, and the numbers update automatically as jobs are added or expire — so the band always reflects what employers are paying right now.
