1Mr X had income from salary of ₹200000. Income from Capital Gain of ₹150000 and Income from other sources is ₹250000. Contribution to PF is ₹40000, PPF ₹70000, and LIC is ₹40000. Calculate Income Tax Liability of Mr X.Show solution
| Head of Income | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Income from Salary | 2,00,000 |
| Income from Capital Gains | 1,50,000 |
| Income from Other Sources | 2,50,000 |
| Gross Total Income | 6,00,000 |
Step 2: Calculate Deductions under Section 80C
| Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| PF Contribution | 40,000 |
| PPF Contribution | 70,000 |
| LIC Premium | 40,000 |
| Total | 1,50,000 |
Maximum deduction allowed under Section 80C = ₹1,50,000
Since total = ₹1,50,000, deduction = ₹1,50,000
Step 3: Calculate Total Taxable Income
Step 4: Calculate Income Tax (as per Old Regime slabs)
| Slab | Rate | Tax (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹2,50,000 | Nil | 0 |
| ₹2,50,001 – ₹5,00,000 | 5% | 5% × ₹2,00,000 = 10,000 |
| Total Tax | | 10,000 |
Step 5: Add Health & Education Cess @ 4%
Step 6: Total Income Tax Liability
Note: A rebate under Section 87A of ₹12,500 is available if total taxable income does not exceed ₹5,00,000. Since taxable income here is ₹4,50,000 (≤ ₹5,00,000), the rebate applies and the tax payable becomes ₹NIL (tax of ₹10,000 < rebate limit of ₹12,500).
2Mr A had Income from Salary of ₹300000. Income from House property rentals comes out to be ₹150000. Income from Capital gains is ₹300000. Income from other sources is ₹50000.

| Fixed Deposits (Tax Saving, 5-yr) | 30,000 |
| LIC Premium | 40,000 |
| Total | 1,50,000 |
Maximum deduction allowed under Section 80C = ₹1,50,000
Since total = ₹1,50,000, deduction = ₹1,50,000
Step 3: Calculate Total Taxable Income
Step 4: Calculate Income Tax (as per Old Regime slabs)
| Slab | Rate | Tax (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹2,50,000 | Nil | 0 |
| ₹2,50,001 – ₹5,00,000 | 5% | 5% × ₹2,50,000 = 12,500 |
| ₹5,00,001 – ₹6,50,000 | 20% | 20% × ₹1,50,000 = 30,000 |
| Total Tax | | 42,500 |

Section 11.11 — Electricity Bill, Water Supply Bills
1Calculate the monthly electricity bill based on the following appliance usage: TV used 4 hours/day at 85 Watts; Toaster used 15 minutes/day at 1000 Watts; Kettle used 2 hours/day at 2400 Watts; 15 light bulbs used 5 hours/day at 100 Watts each. Flat rate tariff is 22 cts/kWh and line charge is ₹1.10/day. (Month = 30 days)Show solution
(i) TV:
(ii) Toaster:
(iii) Kettle:
(iv) 15 Light Bulbs:
Step 2: Total Daily Usage
Step 3: Monthly Usage (30 days)
Step 4: Usage Charge
Step 5: Line Charge
Step 6: Total Monthly Bill
2Using the given water bill rate structure (Service charge ₹40/month for build-up area up to 200 sq. m; Consumption charges: 0–6000 litres = NIL, 7000–20000 litres = ₹2/litre, 21000–30000 litres = ₹7/litre, above 30000 litres = ₹10/litre; Sewage charge = 50% of consumption charge), calculate the water bill for a house with build-up area up to 200 sq. m for the following monthly consumptions: (a) 6000 litres, (b) 10000 litres, (c) 20000 litres, (d) 21000 litres, (e) 31000 litres.Show solution
- Service Charge = ₹40/month (build-up area ≤ 200 sq. m)
- Consumption Charges:
- 0 – 6,000 litres → NIL
- 7,001 – 20,000 litres → ₹2 per litre (for units above 6,000)
- 21,001 – 30,000 litres → ₹7 per litre (for units in this slab)
- Above 30,000 litres → ₹10 per litre (for units above 30,000)
- Sewage Charge = 50% of Consumption Charge
---
(a) Consumption = 6,000 litres
---
(b) Consumption = 10,000 litres
(First 6,000 litres are free; next 4,000 litres @ ₹2 each)
---
(c) Consumption = 20,000 litres
(First 6,000 litres free; next 14,000 litres @ ₹2 each)
---
(d) Consumption = 21,000 litres
Consumption Charge:
- First 6,000 litres → NIL
- Next 14,000 litres (6,001 to 20,000) @ ₹2 = ₹28
- Next 1,000 litres (20,001 to 21,000) @ ₹7 = ₹7
---
(e) Consumption = 31,000 litres
Consumption Charge:
- First 6,000 litres → NIL
- Next 14,000 litres (6,001 to 20,000) @ ₹2 = ₹28
- Next 10,000 litres (20,001 to 30,000) @ ₹7 = ₹70
- Next 1,000 litres (30,001 to 31,000) @ ₹10 = ₹10
---
Summary Table:
| Consumption (litres) | Service Charge (₹) | Consumption Charge (₹) | Sewage Charge (₹) | Total Bill (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6,000 | 40 | 0 | 0 | 40 |
| 10,000 | 40 | 8 | 4 | 52 |
| 20,000 | 40 | 28 | 14 | 82 |
| 21,000 | 40 | 35 | 17.50 | ≈93 |
| 31,000 | 40 | 108 | 54 | 202 |
