Question by nk - Feb 01, 2025Hindi

Money

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced that there will be no income tax for those earning up to Rs 12 lakh. But in the same breath she said that... Those earning up to Rs 4 lakh per annum will pay nil tax Those earning between Rs 4 lakh to Rs 8 lakh will have to pay income tax of 5 per cent Those earning between Rs 8 lakh to Rs 12 lakh will have to pay income tax of 10 per cent Those earning between Rs 12 lakh to Rs 16 lakh will have to pay income tax of 15 per cent Those earning between Rs 16 lakh to Rs 20 lakh will have to pay income tax of 20 per cent Those earning between Rs 20 lakh to Rs 24 lakh will have to pay income tax of 25 per cent, and Those earning between Rs 24 lakh will have to pay income tax of 30 per cent. Confused why one will have to pay tax at all if there is no income tax for those earning up to Rs 12 lakh per annum?

Ans: Technically there is no tax if taxable income upto 12 lakh (except special rate income), as you get rebate equivalent to tax charged. So you have to calculate tax as per slab rate first and reduce tax liability by way of rebate.
