A quick tip for salary negotiation-
If you got an increment but decided to leave the previous organisation, ask your HR/Manager to give the increment letter (or continue working till the first increment salary gets credited) and use it to ask for higher salary at the new company.
And also, if you have another interview scheduled with another company, give the interview, wait till you get the offer letter and show it to your the company which you finally want to join and ask for higher salary based on the offer letter. This is the main strategy used for negotiating salaries.
