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.
