There is no exact figures of how much one earns.

It all depends upon the

• skill of the surgeon
• number of surgery per day
• type of surgery

He can earn lakhs in a day to crores in a month.

There is nothing fixed.

Surgeons practicing in metros & Tier 1 cities earn much more than Tier II, who in turn earn more than Tier III cities.

Surgeons in Govt institutions get fixed salary, which is nothing to be proud about.

Surgeons in private institutions take home only 40% (after taxes) of their listed fee as the hospital where they are attached takes 20%, Surgeons who are in private practice (read nursing homes) have cash practice (save tax) and despite their lower fee structure and even after the infamous practice of sharing revenue take home almost equal of a private institution.
