Hi Mihir, I want to know why there is tax slabs when there is no tax payable for salary of Rs. 12 LPA as per FM

Ans: There is no tax liability if taxable salary is 12 lacs, however, as soon as salary crosses 12 lacs; benefit of tax rebate will not be available and tax calculation is required to be done from the salary of 4 lacs. Thus, slab rate is provided.
