An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee. The overhead is $20 \%$ of the consulting fee, if the fee is up to ₹$5,00,000$. For higher fees, the overhead is ₹$1,00,000$ plus $10 \%$ of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹ $5,00,000$. The government charges a …
