Here are three categories under which individuals are supposed to pay tax:

Salaried employees are often issued Form 16 from their employers, which details out the total salary and taxes deducted on it. While Form 16 can become a reference point for you to calculate taxes, income generated from other sources like interest on deposits, investments, and rental income, have to be all incorporated in the tax calculation.
When using the tax calculator, keep the following rebates/deductions/exemptions available under the income tax law in mind:
An income tax calculator can simplify your tax estimate and help you account for every possible tax saving option. The best part is that you can use this online ITR calculator anytime during the financial year to readjust your tax-saving investments and tax liabilities.
Here are all the benefits of an income tax calculator:
Income tax calculator helps calculate tax liability with ease and as per the latest income tax slab rates and tax rules.

Income tax is calculated for different individuals based on their respective tax slabs. Finally, the total payable tax is calculated after subtracting the deductions and other taxes that you may have already paid such as Advance Tax and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). This number is called the Net Income Tax Liability.
Income from salary is the aggregate of Basic salary, HRA, Transport Allowance, Special Allowance etc. Your salary components such as HRA, Rent, LTA, Telephone bills etc are exempt from tax. In addition, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is also exempt from tax. You cannot avail of these exemptions if you opt for new tax regime.

From the Assessment Year 2021-22 (Financial Year 2020-21), you have a choice of tax slabs you can follow. Though the choices may sound confusing, it is simply based on your investment habits.
The tax-regime options seem to be only an experiment to assess the popularity of tax-saving investments. As your tax liabilities can be almost identical under both regimes if you select your slabs as per the conditions above.
For example, if you have a taxable income of Rs 10 Lakhs in the FY 2020-21, your maximum tax-saving investments could be about Rs. 2 lakhs including section 80C and 80D. Thus, your taxable income will be Rs. 8 lakhs and tax liability around Rs. 72,500 under the old regime.
However, if you do not invest under section 80C and use the new regime to estimate your tax, your liabilities will be about Rs 75,000.
Annual Income | Tax Rate(New Regime) | Tax Rates(Old Regime) |
---|---|---|
Up to INR 2,50,000 | Nil | Nil |
INR 2,50,001 to INR 5,00,000 | 5% | 5% |
INR 5,00,001 to INR 7,50,000 | 10% | 20% |
INR 7,50,001 to INR 10,00,000 | 15% | 20% |
INR 10,00,001 to INR 12,50,000 | 20% | 30% |
INR 12,50,001 to INR 15,00,000 | 25% | 30% |
Above INR 15,00,000 | 30% | 30% |
Deductions from Gross Total Income & Allowances NA Allowed | NA | Allowed |
Without tax-saving investments and deductible allowances, your tax liability under the new tax regime would be lower. However, if you have invested money in tax saving investments such as voluntary provident fund, life insurance plans, home buying - the old tax regime can offer lower taxes.
If your total taxable income in the FY 2020-21 had been Rs 15 lakhs here’s how it’ll play out without any tax-saving investments:
Annual Income | Tax Rate(New Regime) | Tax Rates(Old Regime) |
---|---|---|
Up to INR 2,50,000 | Nil | Nil |
INR 2,50,001 to INR 5,00,000 | 12,500 | 12,500 |
INR 5,00,001 to INR 7,50,000 | +25,000 | +50,000 |
INR 7,50,001 to INR 10,00,000 | +37,500 | +50,000 |
INR 10,00,001 to INR 12,50,000 | +50,000 | +75,000 |
INR 12,50,001 to INR 15,00,000 | +62,500 | +75,000 |
Above INR 15,00,000 | - | - |
Total Tax Payable (before Cess*) | 187,500 | 262,500 |
* 4% health and education cess applicable on the payable income tax amount
However, if you have the following investments or expenses, you can lower your income tax outflow under the old regime:
These expenses and investments help you reduce your taxable income, thus, reducing the total applicable tax.
There are a few sources of income which are fully exempted from income tax in India. Incomes listed under Section 10 (1) of the Income Tax Act are not taxable in India. Some of them are:
No income tax is payable for total taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh in both the old and new tax regimes. If senior citizens or super senior citizens choose the new tax regime, they will have to forego the benefit of the higher exemption ceiling. Under the new optional regime, the higher exemption limit of Rs 3 lakh for senior citizens and Rs 5 lakh for super senior citizens will no longer be available. The baseline exemption ceiling for all taxpayers would remain at Rs 2.5 lakh under the new tax regime.
It is not necessary to file an income tax return if your income is less than the current taxable threshold. Experts recommend filing your ITR with a NIL return if you have a PAN (Permanent Account Number) card and an income that is below the taxable level. This is to inform the IT department that you did not have any taxable income in a given year.
Individuals whose total income during the previous year exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax should file their income tax returns, according to Section 139 (1) of the Income Tax Act. Here are a few details that you need while e-filling your income tax returns:
Assessment year (AY) 2021-22 has two options available as tax slab rates – new and old regime. The new tax regime allows for lower tax liability for those taxpayers who do not invest in tax-saving options. Here are the tax rates under both old and new regimes:
Annual Income | Tax Rate(New Regime) | Tax Rates(Old Regime) |
---|---|---|
Up to INR 2,50,000 | Nil | Nil |
INR 2,50,001 to INR 5,00,000 | 5% | 5% |
INR 5,00,001 to INR 7,50,000 | 10% | 20% |
INR 7,50,001 to INR 10,00,000 | 15% | 20% |
INR 10,00,001 to INR 12,50,000 | 20% | 30% |
INR 12,50,001 to INR 15,00,000 | 25% | 30% |
Above INR 15,00,000 | 30% | 30% |
Deductions from Gross Total Income & Allowances NA Allowed | NA | Allowed |
4% Health and Education Cess is applicable on the total tax payable amount after the slab rates.
The income tax calculation for the financial year 2020-21 (AY 2021-22) depends on your taxable income and the tax slab regime you want to follow.
If you have invested in tax-saving options or have a running home loan, you can use the old tax regime. In this case, you will follow the process of deducting the tax-saving investment and loss from house property from your taxable income first. Then calculate tax as per the old slab rates on the remaining amount.
Under the new tax regime, deductions are not applicable. Thus, you simply take the taxable income amount and use the new tax slab rates to estimate tax.
You can
Also Read - save tax through investments in life insurance plans, ELSS funds, ULIP plans, NPS, PPF, Sukanya Sammriddhi Accounts, and similar investments. These investments will help you reduce your taxable income by up to Rs. 1.5 lakhs. Further, if you have health insurance cover for family and parents, you can save up to Rs 75,000 more. Contribution to notified welfare funds and institutions also qualifies for deduction under section 80G.
The standard deduction for AY 2021-22 is Rs. 50,000 raised from Rs. 40,000 in the 2019 Union Budget. However, this deduction is not allowed in the new tax regime.
The limit for income tax deduction from gross total income under section 80C is Rs. 1.5 lakhs. Which include the contributions made under section 80C, 80CCC, 80CCD(1). In the case of a senior citizen, the limit may go up to Rs. 2 lakhs for certain transactions such as repayment of home loan principal amount.
No, tax deduction under section 80C is still available after the 2020 budget. However, if you have not invested in the options available under the section, you now have the option of using a lower tax slab rate. The new rates are also called the new tax regime and it lowers the tax outflow for taxpayers who do not invest in 80C instruments.
Minimum taxable income remains at Rs. 2.5 lakhs for the year 2021. However, with new standard deductions in place, you can enjoy zero tax outflows for an annual income of up to Rs. 5 lakhs.
Final filing dates for AY 2020-21 ITR were extended to 31st May 2021, due to the unprecedented situation of lockdown across the country. However, if you missed the deadline, you could still file the return, albeit with a penalty of up to Rs. 10,000 and interest on the payable tax amount.
Yes, under the new tax regime standard deduction under section 87A is not applicable. The new tax regime aims to offer tax relief to those taxpayers who do not invest in tax-saving plans. However, you can still claim the deductions if you are investing in such instruments under the old regime.
