If you have other sources of income, you will need to add the net taxable income from those sources to your income from salary. The resultant amount will be your Gross Total Income. Usually, total gross income is classified into two parts, one of which is subject to normal taxes while the other comes under special tax slabs.

Sometimes, factors like home loans or other financial obligations or investments can make you eligible for deductions under sections 80C and 80U of the Indian Income Tax Act. After deducing your gross total income, claim all deductions on it as applicable.

If the amount of deductions you claim exceeds the gross total income, the deductions will be equal to the gross total income itself. Note that only Normal Income is subject to deductions.

Subtract the deductions claimed under Chapter VIA of the Income Tax Act from your gross total income. The resultant will be your taxable income.

4. Tax Slabs

The following are the tax slabs applicable to different incomes for people aged 60 and below:

  • For income up to Rs. 2.5 lakhs, no tax has to be paid.
  • For incomes between Rs. 2.5 lakhs – 5 lakhs, the tax rate applicable is 5% on Total Income. A tax rebate of Rs. 12,500 is applicable under section 87A.
