Example for Calculating Income Tax
For Salaried Employees
The total of the salary is your income from salary: Basic Pay + HRA + Special Allowance + Transport Allowance + any other allowances.
Certain parts of your pay, such as the reimbursement of phone bills and the leave travel allowance, are not subject to taxes. You may be eligible for an HRA exemption if you live on rent and get HRA.
In addition to these exemptions, both the old and new regimes provide for a standard deduction of ₹ 50,000. In the most recent budget for 2024, this was raised to ₹ 75,000 exclusively for the New Regime.
If you use the new tax system, you will not be eligible for these exemptions.
Using an example, let's examine how income tax is calculated under the present tax slabs and the new tax slabs (optional).
An employee named Sujata gets a monthly Basic Salary of ₹ 1,25,000, an HRA of ₹ 60,000, a monthly Special Allowance of ₹ 25,000, and an LTA of ₹ 30,000 per year. Sujata resides in Delhi and pays a rent of ₹ 40,000.

Under the previous system, an individual's total non-taxable income could not exceed ₹ 2.5 lakhs. However, if your total income for the fiscal year 2018–19 is up to ₹ 3.5 lacs, you may also be eligible for a reimbursement of ₹ 2,500 under section 87A. The refund has been raised to ₹ 12,500 for incomes up to ₹ 5 lakh as of FY 2019–20. That implies that starting in FY 2019–20, a person making up to ₹ 5 lakh will not be obliged to pay any income tax. You won't have to pay taxes until you reach ₹ 6.5 lakhs if you have tax-saving investments under section 80C totalling up to ₹ 1.5 lakhs.
The upper ceiling of an individual's non-taxable income under the New Regime is set at ₹ 3 lakh in the budget for 2023. On the other hand, if your total income for FY 2023–2024 is up to ₹ 7 lacs, you can also receive a rebate of ₹ 25,000 under section 87A. That implies that starting in FY 2023–2024, a person making up to ₹ 7 lakh would not be obliged to pay any income tax. Nonetheless, the section 87A rebate cap remains at 5 lakhs for the previous period.
An individual is exempt from filing income taxes if his income exceeds the basic exemption amount. However, to receive an income tax refund, a person's income must be less than ₹ 2.5L (under the previous regime) or ₹ 3L (under the new regime). To do this, an ITR must be filed. In all other cases, however, income tax returns must be filed.
