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).
