How to calculate tax
Example 1:Let us take a case where the assessee's income is Rs. 3,10,000.- According to the Income Tax Slab, the first 1,50,000 is not taxable.
- The next Rs. 1,50,000 is taxable @10%.
- 10% of Rs. 1,50,000 is Rs. 15,000.
- The remaining Rs. 10,000 i.e. 3,10,000 - (1,50,000+1,50,000) is taxable @20%.
- 20% of Rs. 10,000 is Rs. 2,000.
- Therefore, the net Income Tax Payable is Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 2,000 i.e. Rs. 17,000.
Example 2: Let us take a case where the assessee is women and whose taxable income is Rs. 3,40,000.

- According to the Income Tax Slab, the first 1,80,000 is not taxable.
- The next Rs. 1,20,000 is taxable @10%.
- 10% of Rs. 1,20,000 is Rs. 12,000.
- The remaining Rs. 40,000 i.e. 3,40,000 - (1,80,000+1,20,000) is taxable @20%.
- 20% of Rs. 40,000 is Rs. 8,000.
- Therefore, the net Income Tax Payable is Rs. 12,000 + Rs. 8,000 i.e. Rs. 20,000.
Example 3: Let us take a case where the assessee is senior citizen and whose taxable income is Rs. 3,90,000.
- According to the Income Tax Slab, the first 2,25,000 is not taxable.
- The next Rs. 75,000 is taxable @10%
- 10% of Rs. 75,000 is Rs. 7,500
- The next Rs. 90,000 i.e. 3,90,000 - (2,25,000+75,000) is taxable @20%
- 20% of Rs. 90,000 is Rs. 18,000.
- Therefore, the net Income Tax Payable is Rs. 7,500 + Rs. 18,000 i.e. Rs. 25,500
