Some of you might be now wondering why it is written in the above slab that income till Rs 2,50,000 has no tax for residents of age less than 60 years instead of till Rs 3,00,000. You might have heard Rs 3,00,000 as no tax income in the news. You heard it absolutely right and what you read in the above slab is right as well. I can explain.
Rebate under section 87A of Income Tax Act, 1961 for FY 2017-18
As per section 87A, a rebate of 100% or Rs 2500 (previously Rs 5,000), which ever is lower, is allowed to all resident individuals whose income is Rs 3,50,000 (previously Rs 5,00,000) or below.
Suppose,
you are a resident of age less than 60 years
your income = Rs 3,00,000
taxable income = Rs 3,00,000 - Rs 2,50,000 = Rs 50,000
tax = 5% of Rs 50,000 = Rs 2,500
As per section 87A,
your payable tax = Rs 2,500 - Rs 2,500(rebate) = 0
So, for an income of Rs 3,00,000 and below, there is no tax. I hope it is clear.
