How to Understand Income Tax Slabs? 

The income tax calculation in India happens following specific slabs. The slabs represent different taxpayer categories based on their annual income. With one glimpse of this slab, you can decipher that an increase in your income will result in higher tax rates. You will also see that there are two different tax slabs under the old and new regime.

To comprehend the tax slabs, you must be aware of three main categories in which taxpayers are divided under the old regime. These are:

  • Individual taxpayers under the age group of 60 years for all residents and NRI citizens of India
  • Resident senior citizens between 60 years to 80 years
  • Resident super senior citizen individuals are the ones above 80 years old

However, under the new tax regime, the income tax slabs are common for all the above three categories of individuals. Moreover, the tax slabs are different for individuals, HUFs, companies, partnership firms, etc.

India follows a progressive tax system to ensure fair taxation. This means only the part of your taxable income that falls under a higher tax slab gets taxed at a higher rate.

How to Calculate Income Tax FY 2023-24


To understand your potential tax liability, you first need to figure out your tax slab. People have to pay taxes based on their annual taxable income. By dividing individuals under income tax slabs, the Government ensures that people do not pay very heavy taxes. Currently, there are two tax regimes available in India, each with different taxations for each slab. Let’s take a look at what they are:

Income Tax Slab for New & Old Regime

Income Tax Slab for Old Regime (FY 2023 – 2024) differentiates between three age cohorts of tax-paying individuals.

Income Tax Slabs for Individuals below 60 years and HUF:

Individuals with a net taxable income of up to ₹ 7 lakh will be eligible for tax rebate u/s 87A under the new tax regime. The rebate limit remains at ₹ 5 lakh for individuals who choose to pay tax under the old regime.

An additional 4% health and education cess is applicable on the tax amount.

Surcharge (applicable for Old & New Tax Regime):

Surcharge is levied over and above the tax subject to marginal relief at following rates if total income exceeds specified limits:

  • 10% of Income Tax for income > ₹50 lakh
  • 15% of Income Tax for income > ₹1 crore
  • 25% of Income Tax for income > ₹2 crore
  • 37% of Income Tax for income > ₹5 crore

The enhanced surcharge of 25% & 37%, as the case may be, is not levied, from income chargeable to tax under sections 111A, 112A and 115AD. Hence, the maximum rate of surcharge on tax payable on such incomes shall be 15%.

The maximum rate of surcharge on tax payable on dividend income or capital gain referred to in Section 112, shall be 15%. The surcharge rate for an Association of Persons (AOP) with all members as a company shall be capped at 15%.

It is to be noted that relevant marginal relief from surcharge is available.

Health and education cess at 4% is to be applied on amount of surcharge also.

Once you understand your tax slab based on your income, age and eligible tax deductions, you can use the slab amounts given above to calculate your tax. Let’s assume a 50-year-old man earns INR 10, 80,000 per year. He invests in a ULIP with a premium of INR 2,55,000. Since he falls under the old tax regime, he first needs to calculate his taxable income. After making the eligible deductions, his taxable income works out to INR 8, 80,000. Based on his age and taxable income, he needs to pay INR 12,500 + 20% of (8, 80,000 – 5, 00,000) as income tax. The amount works out to INR 88,500 plus Health and Education cess of INR 3,540 (88,500*4%), so his total tax liability is INR 92,040.

Let’s assume the man did not make any investments or deductions. His taxable income would be INR 10, 30,000 after the standard deduction of INR 50,000. As per the income tax slabs in the new regime, he would have to pay INR 45,000 + 15% of (10, 30,000 – 9, 00,000). In this scenario, the income tax amount works out to INR 64,500 plus Health and Education cess of INR 2,580.

How to Calculate Gross Income from Different Sources of Income?

To calculate gross income from different income sources with an online income tax calculator, you must know the 5 different sources (or heads) of income. Each of these sources is taxed differently. The different heads of income under the Income Tax Act, 1961 are:
Income From Business

Income from Business or Profession

This category asks citizens to provide details of all their income from any form of business or entrepreneurship profession. Any sort of trade, company or manufacturing facility is considered a business. The word ‘profession’ refers to gaining specialised knowledge for use in commercial activity. 

Salaried Income

Income from Salary

This section is for those citizens who are salaried employees under a firm. The income from your salary will be composed of certain components like Dearness Allowance, basic pay, HRA, gratuity, travel allowance and any other allowances. You will find a detailed overview of all the components of your salary in your salary slip or payroll to calculate your gross income. 

Capital Gains

Income from Capital Gains

This category looks at your profits from capital assets like stocks, real estate and mutual funds. You can further divide capital gains into two categories, which are Long Term Capital Gains and Short Term Capital Gains. Your earnings are categorised as LTCG and STCG depending on the holding period of securities. 

Income From Rent

Income from House Property

This category involves the income which you might earn by renting, selling or leasing any commercial or residential property. This might include independent houses, apartments, hostels and office spaces. 

Other Income Sources

Income from Other Sources

Any income which does not fall under the above categories comes under the umbrella of income from other sources. This can involve bank interests, lottery, income from dividends, pensions, royalties, etc. 

Income Tax Calculation


We can understand how to calculate an individual’s income tax liability by using an example. Amit, a 45-year-old, earns INR 12, 00,000 per year. As per his income break-up, he gets HRA of INR 45,000 per month even though he pays monthly rent of INR 60,000. Additionally, he purchased a life insurance policy for himself, with a premium of INR 3, 00,000. He also pays the premiums for health insurance plans for himself and his mother, who is 70. Let’s take a look at how Amit should calculate his income:

Total Income: INR 12, 00,000

Standard Deduction: INR 50,000

HRA: INR 45,000

Interest on Home Loan- Self Occupied: INR 2, 00,000

Section 80C Deduction: INR 1, 50,000

Section 80D Deduction: INR 75,000

Amit’s total taxable income works out to: INR 6, 80,000.

His income tax liability is INR 12,500 + 20% of the taxable income above INR 5, 00,000

= INR 12,500 + 20% (6, 80,000 – 5,00,000)

= INR 12,500 + 20% of 1, 80,000

= INR 12,500 + 36,000

= INR 48,500 + INR 1,940 (48,500*4%)

So, the total tax Amit has to pay works out to INR 50,440

Now, let’s take a look at Varun’s situation. Varun earns INR 12, 00,000 per year. He does not make any investments, so he follows the new tax regime. After the standard deduction, his total taxable income is INR 11, 50,000.

As per the new tax regime, his income tax liability is INR 45,000 + 15% of the income above INR 9, 00,000

= INR 45,000 + 15% (11,50,000 – 9,00,000)
= INR 45,000 + 15% of 2,50,000
= INR 45,000 +  37,500
= INR  82,500+ INR  3,300 ( 82,500* 4%)

So, the total tax Varun has to pay works out to INR 85,800

 

Steps to Calculate Income Tax of a Salaried Employee? 

The calculation of income tax for salaried employees requires an elaborate process. You can do this manually yourself or seek help from an expert. You can also opt for an income tax calculator available online to compute the taxes for a salaried employee.

To calculate income tax for salaried employees, you can consider following the steps below.

1 Step 1: Start with Calculating Your Gross Income

In the space provided, enter your total income along with your allowances in the Income Tax Calculator. Certain allowances are tax-exempt; hence, they are not included in your total salary. The important components of your salary are Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) and House Rent Allowance (HRA). These will be excluded from your gross income subject to certain conditions.

To calculate the HRA, take the lowest value among the following points.

  • Actual rent must be 10% of Basic Pay + DA monthly salary
  • House Rent Allowance that your employer provides
  • 40% of your basic salary, if your workplace is in non-metro cities or 50% of your basic salary, for metro cities

You should mention your income from different sources like capital gains or deposits. The final result will be your gross income. With the online income tax calculator, you can evaluate your gross pay by filling in the details of your income. 

2 Step 2: Compute Your Net Taxable Income

To calculate your taxable income, you have to add all applicable deductions under Chapter VI-A of the Income Tax Act. This includes all deductions from Section 80C to Section 80U. Most of these deductions are available under the old tax regime while the new tax regime only allows a select few of them.

You can also claim a standard deduction of Rs. 50,000 from your annual salary FY 2023-24. Note that this is applicable only to salaried employees. 

The points below will provide a brief idea of the tax-saving instruments mentioned in this section.

1. Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS)

2. Life Insurance

3. Public Provident Fund (PPF)

4. Mutual Fund

5. National Pension Savings Scheme (NPS)

6. Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP)

The points below will take you through the sections in the Income Tax Act that allow you to avail different tax deductions.
 

  • Section 80CCD (1B)
    This section allows both salaried and self-employed citizens of India to avail an additional tax deduction of Rs. 50,000. You can combine the benefits of this section with Section 80C for a total maximum deduction of Rs. 2 lakh/year. Under this section, you can also provide your NPS contribution to calculate the NPS deduction from your taxable amount.

  • Section 80CCD(1)
    If you are contributing towards your retirement in the National Pension Scheme, this deduction is for you. The Section 80 CCD(1) offers a tax deduction for your NPS investment. To have a detailed idea about the deducted amount, you can use the income tax calculator available online.
    According to this section, a salaried employee will receive a 10% tax deduction if his/her gross salary is below Rs. 1.5 lakh.  

  • Section 80C
    Section 80C allows both HUF and individual citizens of India to claim deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh in a financial year. You can access this benefit by investing in instruments like Life insurance policy, Public Provident Funds, National Savings Certificates, PPF, ELSS, and home loan repayment.

  • Section 80D
    You can receive deductions for the premium amount that you pay towards your health insurance under this section. To calculate the maximum tax deduction amount under Section 80D, you must consider the following points:
  • A deduction of Rs. 25,000 is available on medical insurance for self, spouse or children
  • An additional deduction of Rs. 25,000 is allowed for health insurance for parents below 60 years
  • An additional deduction of Rs. 50,000 is allowed for self and parents belonging to the age group of 60+ years of age

    It is important to note that the total tax deduction under this section cannot exceed Rs. 1 lakh. Also, you must make online payments of your premium to avail tax benefits under this section.

  • Section 80E

    Individuals paying interest towards education loans can avail tax deductions under this section. However, a person can enjoy tax deduction under Section 80E for a limited period which is 8 years. 

  • Section 80DD

    Under this section, individuals and HUFs can opt for deductions for bearing the medical expenses of their dependent or disabled family members. However, you can avail  a tax benefit up to Rs. 1.25 lakh depending on the person's disability. 

3 Step 3: Select the Tax Slab Based on Your Net Income

The tax slabs for FY 2023-24 have remained the same for the old regime. However, the 2023 Budget has made changes to the income tax slab under the new regime. Under it, the basic exemption limit has been increased to Rs. 3 lakh and the rebate under Section 87A has been doubled.

Once you are done subtracting your deductions from your annual income, you can evaluate your net taxable income under either of these regimes. Now, assess the result with the existing tax slab rates. This will let you know the income tax category you belong to.

You can get help from online income tax calculators to know your correct tax slab rate. 

4 Step 4: Calculate the Tax

After you have located the tax slab suiting your income, it is now time to pay net taxable income according to the tax slab. The calculation of your net income must rely on the following points.

Old Tax Regime

This is the only tax regime that was prevalent before the introduction of the new tax regime in FY 2023-24.

● Income Tax Slabs for Individuals and HUF

*Health and Educational cess of 4% tax will be applicable on the sum of income tax liability and surcharges of all cases.

 

Finally, you can seek a tax rebate under Section 87A of the Income Tax Act. A tax rebate is like an incentive that the government provides to individuals whose income falls below a specific limit. In this case, if your taxable income is below Rs. 5 lakh, you can claim a tax rebate of Rs. 12,500 under Section 87A.

Under the new tax regime, Section 87A allows rebates of up to Rs. 25,000 for a taxable income of up to Rs. 7 lakh. If your taxable income is above these limits, you will have to pay 4% health and education cess on the tax amount. With this, you can calculate your final taxable income.

Also, people whose income bracket falls within Rs. 50 lakh to Rs. 1 crore must pay a 10% surcharge. The highest surcharge rate is 37% applicable on income above Rs. 5 crore.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

1 When can you file your income tax returns?

A person can file their annual ITR as soon as the new financial year begins, i.e., 1st of April every year. The due date by which you must complete the ITR filing procedure is July 31 of the same year. 

2 What is the difference between exemption and deduction?

Tax deduction happens when you make certain investments that help lower or deduct your taxable income. The Government of India allows many deductions to encourage people to participate in retirement planning and long-term health plans. On the other hand, certain parts of a person's income are tax-free or tax-exempt from the very beginning. These are tax exemptions. 

3 What are the major tax provisions introduced in the budget for Individual taxation?

Budget 2023 introduced a tax rebate in the new tax regime on income of up to Rs. 7 lakh. This means you do not have to file an ITR if your income is below Rs. 7 lakh. You will also receive a standard deduction of Rs. 50,000 under the new regime. The highest surcharge for people with income of more than Rs. 5 crore is also reduced to 25% from 37%. 

4 Which deductions/exemptions are not available under the new tax regime?

Standard deduction, leave travel allowance, minor child income allowance, professional tax and entertainment allowance, house rent allowance and children education allowance are not allowed. Moreover, nearly all deductions under Chapter VI A of the IT Act are not allowed. 

5 Is the Section 10(10D) exemption available under the new tax regime?

The exemption under Section 10 (10D) encompassing life insurance payouts is available under the new tax regime, subject to conditions mentioned in the section. 

6 How will the new tax regime work for an individual?

According to the new tax regime, if your income is below Rs. 3 lakhs, there is no tax rate applicable to you. Further, rebate under Section 87A is also available upto taxable income of Rs 7 lakhs. This new tax regime is better for individuals with comparatively lower incomes with less number of investments than the old tax regime. It is also better for anyone who does not want to do complex calculations as it is the default option. 

7 Is the new tax regime optional? Can I change the option once selected for any financial year?

The Government of India will consider the new tax regime as the default one. However, individual taxpayers can choose between the old or new tax regime at their convenience. A salaried individual can easily switch between new and old tax regimes every year while filing an ITR. On the other hand, if you are a self-employed taxpayer, you cannot switch between tax regimes. 

8 Does my investment in insurance and pension still be eligible for tax benefits?

Yes, Section 80CCC investments in pension and life insurance are still eligible for tax benefits under the old regime. For the new regime, only family pension income u/s 57 (iia) is allowed as a deduction. 

9 What new budget proposals apply to salaried individuals for the current financial year 2023-24?
