Job offer in Bangalore - What is an acceptable salary?

You should settle for a salary of 1.05 lakh post-tax as tax slab for that salary is 30%. You can negotiate with your employer.
What other benefits do you got?

Hi Claire

Anything above Rs1Lakh per month in India is considered a "good" salary, it is in fact the salary I started with when getting my first job in India in 2010. However it is correct you will have to pay at least 30% of that in tax on your own, your employer does not remit it, so I would try and negotiate a salary after tax. Or perhaps you could negotiate paid accommodations?

You should also find out about other benefits, paid vacation, etc.

For example, my first contract I was provided a car and driver (or a stipend in lieu), 30 days paid vacation, an assistant, cost of my visa, financial help with moving my belongings and assistance with the deposit on my apartment (which was 10 months advance in Chennai) on my apartment and medical insurance.

Hope this helps and good luck, Bangalore is a great city!

That's no good. You will be comfortable for sure, but you won't be able to save or do much else.

Are these still updated? How much is the acceptable salary for a single woman working in Bangalore, India?

It's not an easy answer. Do you intend to save a lot? Send money back home? Pay off student loans? etc. To live comfortably in a good house, socialize over the weekends, etc anything north of 100k post tax is good. To an average Indian, this could even be considered a high salary. Depends on your needs (lifestyle and financial obligations). If you want to privately tell me your offer and the area your office is in, assuming you'd live near by that area, I can suggest a number IF you are still in the negotiation stage.
