Employees resign if they are not happy with the annual salary increments. Some companies offer very low salary increments of around 3 to 5%, which is less than the inflation rate in India. If you are not happy with your salary increment you can resign. But I recommend you to find a new job before resigning from your current company.
Even though you are dissatisfied with your salary increment and want to resign, still keep the resignation letter polite and professional. If you desire to express your dissatisfaction, you can do so, but avoid expressing it harshly.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am expressing my sadness in writing to request my resignation from my position as [Job Title] effective from [Date].
Thank you for the opportunities for professional and personal development you have provided me during the last four years.
I am resigning from my job due to a low salary increment. Based on my experience and contributions to the company, I expected an increment of 15%.

Although it’s challenging at the moment, I want to resign from this job, keeping the future in mind. If the salary increment continues like this, I will be left behind financially, which will affect my family.
I am grateful for every opportunity and trust that you understand my decision.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is [Your name], working as a [Job Title] at [Company Name] since [Date of Joining]. I am writing this to inform you about my resignation effective on [date]. Please consider this as my 30 days’ notice.
I am resigning because of the low salary increment. I have been consistently working hard for the last 2 years, but I am not getting enough recognition.
As the head of a family, I have several financial commitments, that fear made me work more diligently and efficiently.
But the 5% salary increment given by the company has shattered all my hopes. I expected a minimum of 10%.
I can continue in the job till such time increment is given, or please accept my resignation. This is a very sad decision for me but In view of the financial needs of the family, I had to take this decision.
Thanking you.
