Am I getting paid fairly?

Hi everyone, I joined KPMG last July. My current package is at 9.5 LPA and I get 72k in-hand salary. I had total work experience of 6 years in a technical support role before joining KPMG. My current role at KPMG is totally different from my previous. But I feel I am being underpaid. Can anyone tell me if that's true, and if yes then what should be my salary as per market value?

... to leave they threaten u that nowhere u wl be able to work after leaving zydus. They approve leaves and then at the time of salary they unapprove it. So most of assigned leaves wl be LWP. Faculties join seeing the good name of zydus but after joining feels to leave , but somehow need to wait just to complete 6 months or 1 year for the resume experience count. They make every leave without pay going off the rules and when u show offer letter rules, they show u the last statement “ decision of management “ which is without any reason always tries to gv u no paid leave.
