No need to fight with HR. The market will determine your pay. As in, shop around. If you're making 6000 per month, and the HR refuse to give you a single cent more than 500 increment (which makes it 6500), then shop around.

Go for interviews and ask for 7500. Can you get one? If you can, leave. If you can't, and everybody pushes you down to 6600, then either (1) you're not that hot of an employee, or (2) maybe you're near the ceiling of your profession or post.

I totally agree with you that fighting for minimal increment for the sake of expanding wealth is silly. Because the fact is you can't get wealthy by getting 300-500 increment every year.
