Tax Brackets and Rates

In India, there are currently two Income Tax regimes, allowing individuals to choose between paying taxes under the new or old regime. The new regime offers lower tax rates for higher income groups. It's important to note that tax slab rates vary based on age, income group, and the chosen tax regime. To determine your tax liabilities, you can use an income tax calculator and consider all of these details. The new income tax slab rates differ from those of the old regime in the following ways:

How is income tax calculated?

To calculate income tax as per the old income tax slab, you need to follow a few steps. Firstly, calculate your gross taxable income by subtracting your deductions such as HRA, LTA, and standard deduction from your gross salary and adding income from other sources. Secondly, calculate your total tax benefits by investing in tax-saving options such as ELSS and PPF available under section 80C of the Indian Income Tax. Thirdly, calculate your net taxable income by subtracting the total tax benefits from the gross taxable income. Lastly, calculate your total tax liability based on the tax rate applicable to your total taxable income. If your total taxable income is less than ₹5 lakhs, you will get a rebate of ₹12,500 under section 87A. For the new tax regime, deductions/exemptions such as HRA and LTA would be taxable, and you cannot avail tax benefits by investing in tax-saving instruments and other deductions.

Income Tax Calculator FAQs

1. How much tax do I have to pay on my salary?

Salary tax is calculated using your total taxable income after all deductions and exemptions, your income tax slab, and the tax regime you have chosen.

2. What exactly is the distinction between an exemption and a deduction?

Exemptions are portions of your income that are exempt from taxation. Exemptions include, for example, a portion of your LTA (Leave Travel Allowance). Deductions, on the other hand, are expenses that aid in the reduction of taxable income. For example, you can claim your ELSS, NPS, and PPF investments as Section 80C deductions to reduce your net taxable income.

3. Which deductions and exemptions are no longer available under the new tax system?

All deductions under Chapter VIA, such as 80C, 80CCC, 80CCD, 80D, 80DD, 80DDB, 80E, 80G, 80GG, 80GGA, 80GGC, are no longer available to taxpayers under the new tax regime. Furthermore, the deduction for interest on housing loans under section 24 as well as the deduction for family pension income are no longer available under the new tax regime.
A statutory deduction of Rs.50,00 and exemption from allowances such as HRA and LTA are not permitted for salaried individuals.

4. How do I compute my income tax?

The basic salary + HRA + Special Allowance + Transport Allowance + any other allowances make up the salary income. Some salary components, such as phone bill reimbursement, leave travel allowance, and so on, are tax-free. You can claim an HRA exemption if you rented a place and received HRA.
Aside from these deductions, the budget 2018 introduced a standard deduction of Rs 40,000, which was later increased to Rs 50,000 in the budget 2019.

5. What information do I need to submit while e-filing my ITR?

The following information is necessary throughout the e-filling process:

  1. PAN number, Adhar number, and address are examples of basic information.
  2. Income details from multiple sources, such as salary, residential property, or any other source.
  3. Evidence of payment of any advance tax or TDS (tax deducted at source) data
