Section 87A of Income-tax Act, provide for a rebate of an amount equal to hundred per cent of such income-tax or an amount of Rs. 2000/- (Rs. 5000 from Financial Year 2016-17), whichever is less, from the amount of income-tax to an individual resident in India whose total income does not exceed five hundred thousand rupees.
A question which is coming in the mind of Taxpayers nowadays is do Rebate of income-tax under section 87A as available from FY 2013-14, also available for FY 2015-16 and subsequent years. One more question which comes to mind is amount of Rebate Available under section 87A, i.e is it Rs. 2000/- or Rs. 5000/- for Financial Year 2015-16?
We have made a Chart of Amount of Rebate U/s. 87A Available to individual resident in India whose total income does not exceed five hundred thousand rupees :-
REBATE AMOUNT UNDER SECTION 87A OF INCOME TAX ACT, 1961
| S. No. | Financial Year | Rebate Available |
| 1 | 2016-17 & Subsequent Years unless withdrawn | 5000/- |
| 2 | 2015-16 | 2000/- |
| 3 | 2014-15 | 2000/- |
| 4 | 2013-14 | 2000/- |
Finance Act 2013 has introduced the rebate U/s. 87A and in this section it has not restricted the exemption to any particular Financial or Assessment year and section been further amended by Finance Act 2016 to Increase the benefit from Rs. 2000/- to Rs. 5000/- wef Financial Year 2016-17 .
In both the Act mentioned above Section 87A has not restricted the exemption to any particular Financial or Assessment year. So in our our view Rebate U/s. 87A is Available to Resident Individuals for A.Y. 2016-17/ FY 2015-16 , whose total income does not exceed 5 Lakh rupees in Financial Year 2015-16. Further rebate u/S. 87a is also available for all the years succeeding to A.Y. 2016-17 on compliance of conditions unless specifically withdrawn.
Key Points
- Amended Section 87A is applicable from 1st April, 2014 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2014-15 and subsequent assessment years.
- Rebate under section 87A is available only to Resident individuals and not available to Non Residents.
-
Rebate under section 87A available to both Male and Female assesses
- If the total tax payable by is less than Rs. 2000/- (Rs. 5000/- from F.Y. 2016-17), rebate u/s. 87A is restricted to “total tax payable”.
- Rebate u/s. 87A is allowed before levy of Education Cess, SHE Cess & Surcharge.
- Rebate benefit is available to all category of Individuals but not to super senior citizen, since he is already fully exempted up to Rs. 5 lakh.
- Above amendment does not mean that basic Exemption Limit has been raised.
Extract of Section 87A is as follows :-
Rebate u/s. 87A of income-tax in case of certain individuals.
1. Word “five” shall be sub. for “two” by Act No. 28 of 2016 (w.e.f. 1-4-2017).

Hello, I am a salaried individual. I prepared and submitted my ITR for A.Y. 2016-17 online through my account. After putting in figures for salary and TDS deducted, total tax payable was Rs. 7590. I should have paid the tax first and then submitted the return by putting paid amount as self-assessed tax. However, by mistake, I submitted the return first and then paid the amount (but before e-verifying the return). After tax-payment through Challan 280, I e-verified the tax-return through my net banking. Now, the acknowledgement I have received still shows as ‘Tax Payable’ of Rs. 7590. I want to know if this would be considered as faulty return? If so, the remedy thereof.
Just update the amount and Re upload it(Corrected)-No problem
my income is 550000 with saving under 80C around 200000, how much tax I need to pay. weather 150000 can be deducted under 80C plus 5000 for 87A for fy 2016-17
If after allowing the deductions the taxable salary comes Rs. 700000/ is he is entitled for tax rebate under section 87A
IF HE HAD INCOME LESS THAN 500000 we can deduct 2000 as rebate
I I have gross income 600000 and have GPF contribution for Rs 150000 can I claim rebate under section 87A
Yes u r eligible to claim rebate u/s 87a.
600000-150000=450000 (net income)
450000-250000=200000(here 250000 is basic exemption limit)
tax on 200000*10%=20000-2000(rebate)=18000+e.cess also….
Yes.
Is the same available in case of belated return also?
YES.87A REBATE HAS NOTTHING TO DO WITH RETURN TIME LIMIT
Hello sir,
I want known that my taxable salary after deduction of chapter VIA is 254770.00
Now i confuse that TDS will b deductible on 4770 @ 10% or not.
Rebate 87A 2000/- after TDS or before…..??
4700-2000(87a)=2700
education cess & sec, hig. cess-3%=81
Total Tax Liability=2700+81=2781
254770-250000= 4,770
4700*10% = 470
Tax = Rs 470 , Since less than 2000, No tds… (87A 2000 rebate is on tax..and not on taxable income.)
254770-250000=4770
tax on 4770 i.e. 4770 *10.3%=491
as it is less than 2000. No TDS. Whole amount is given as rebate u/s. 87A
Good Article.. OK.. I understood how 87A is calculated and other stuffs..
I have a serious question here-
How does this refund reaches me? Does employer need to add a section in Form 16 and provide me the LESS or Should I have to mention when filing my returns ( and get it as refund)? . So far, in my tax statement, I dont see this deduction even though I am eligible for 87A and as far I remember, I have never seen this section in Form 16 issued by my employer so far..
TIA..
U need to claim the refund yourself while filing the return.
And hurry up…
31st July is approaching.
Hi,
I work in a private sector. 25year Male. After all the detection, my total income is 260000. I know there is no tax if the total income is less that 2.5L. So am I applicable to 87C and will I get the Rebeat or I have to pay Rs.1000 as tax.
Got a confusion after reading the following in the Key points
If the total tax payable by is less than Rs. 2000/-, rebate is restricted to “total tax payable”.
If
the total tax payable by is less than Rs. 2000/-, rebate is restricted

Dear John
You are eligible for 87A rebate of Rs. 2,000/- since your taxable income is less than Rs. 500,000/-.

My total income including arrears Rs.572710. Total income excluding arrears Rs. 460910. I have apportioned my arrears in respective financial year. And got relief under section 89(i) . Am i eligible for tax rebate u/s 87A of Rs. 2000/ as my total income related to this financial year is less than 5 lac.
No you are not eligible for rebate u/s 87a, bcoz such rebate is calculated before giving effect of relief u/s 89, i.e., ceiling limit for 87a includes income + arrears which in your case exceeds ₹5 lacs.

no you cant eligible to deduct Rs.2000/-, because you total income exceeds Rs.5 lakhs
yes you can avail deduction u/s 87A as this section use word “Total income” not the word ” Gross total income”.
yes you can avail exemption as your totaltaxable income after deduction is less than 500000

yes, total tax paid = 5000 and your total income comes < 5L. you can avail the rebate 2000.
If the total tax paid = 1000, then is this Rebeat applicable.. In Key points it is mentioned as If the total tax payable by is less than Rs. 2000/-, rebate is restricted to “total tax payable”.
Does it mean I have to pay tax of Rs.1000 ?
NO

As per Sec 87A The Total Income should be below or equal to Indian Rs. 500000 and As Your Total Income in First Case is exact Indian Rs. 500000 you will get benefit of Sec 87A but in Next Case where your income exceeds Rs. 500000 you will not get benefit of Sec 87A.

Dear Tax Guru,
I have confusion in my mind. Some says if you file your incometax online 1 time then from 2nd year onwords you have to file your ITR online compulsorily. You can’t file your ITR manual from second year. So please confirm whether is there any clause from Income Tax department that one can go online can’t go offline from second year.
No, it is not a requirement that one we go for online thenafter never goes for offline.

Dear Sir,
I will be attaining 60 years as on 05/02/2016 (DOB 05/02/1956)
Should I submit Form 15G or Form 15H at the Bank where I have deposits ?
Thanks in advance
Mr.Mayank: Your info is inadequate. How old is the the PF account? How much you have put in the current year? You may also refer to the taxation of PF withdrawl link.
I have received PF amount of RS 150000 as I had quit my job and asked the employer to refund in my account.
But they have deducted 38000 tax from PF amount,
Upon filing the return , do I need to show this 150000 as income ? and can I claim that 38000 as return ?
Mr.A.K.Sinha: Your tax liability is nil.
if my gross salary 260000 then how much tax I have to pay considering 87 A
Ajoy Kumar, you have to pay nothing as per 87 A,
Mr.Kantharaju: The limit of Rs.1,50,000 is u/s 80-C.
I need clarification of Exemption of Rs.150000/- for the FY 2014-2015 its rebate only under chapter VIII OR its include exemption Under section 10 & 17, VI-A
Mr.Sandeep: If the taxable income is less than 5 lakhs, you get a rebate of upto Rs.2000 from the tax due. 2) Non-Resident means who is staying outside country for than 180 days of the financial year. 3) This section is nothing to do with HRA.
What is exactly the Rebate section 87A.
i have seen this comment from this, Rebate is available only to Resident individuals and not available to Non Residents. – what it mean exactly the resident and non resident. HRA submission?
Mr.Keerthi: Taxable income is important and not gross income. So deduction is allowed when the gross is more than 5 lakhs and taxable is less than 5 lakhs.
Mr.Amit: Employer cannot be blamed for the complexity in tax laws. It is their responsibility to ensure complete tax complince. Coming to the point the employer can straight away give you tne benefit of Rs.2000 tax; alternatively you can get the refund from IT dept.
I have received an amount of Rs.5,60,000.00 for surrender of my HDFC life policies, Reliance life insurance & Kotak mahindra life insurance these policies are market based. Surrender was made after 5 years completion of policies. under which section exemption will claim. surrender is made during the FY 2014-15. Please reply to my above mail ID.
rebate u/s 87 A depends on the total income or the Gross total income after deductions.?
Recently when i computed tds for a client for the A.Y 15-16 using a reliable software.. it allowed 87A rebate, though the salary is more than Rs.5,00,000/- on the logic that the gross total income after deductions is less than Rs.500,000/-
now im completely confused..
please clarify

Mr.Sengu: Gratuity has nothing to do with secion 87-A
THE PAYMENT OF GRATUITY (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2012
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The sub-section (2) of Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 providesfor payment of gratuity to the employees at the rate of fifteen days’ wages based on the rate of wages last drawn for every completed year of service. In today’s world of high prices and inflation, the gratuity of fifteen days wages for every completed year is too meager. At such a small rate, a person cannot get enough amount for post retirement settlement. It should therefore be atleast at the rate of thirty days’ salary for every completed year of service.
When it will pass?
Mr.Nihar: Depends on how long it ran. If it had run for 7 years not taxable. Provide full data (sudacgwb@yahoo.com).

MR. Sahay: You will get the rebate but the way you have calculated is not very correct. There is no standard deduction. That is a part of taxable income, and the tax rate is zero. When the taxable income is less than Rs.5,00,000 and from Rs.2,50,000, you will get this deduction upto Rs.2000 income tax. You have to compute the tax and show the deduction upo Rs.2000/-.

Sir,
87A deduction applicable for Assessment year 2015-16 ?
pls advise us
Mr.Ponmariappan,
5 lakh limit for the section under reference is TAXABLE income after deductions/exemptions.
Dear Ramkumar,
Please understand the rebate U/s 87 A says the Total Income does not exceed Rs.5 lakhs not Total Tax income( without any deduction under section 80’s)
Hope you understand!!
Rs.2000 income tax for an income of Rs.20,000. (For Income upto 5.00 lakhs.)
ITS RS 2,000 OR 20,000 U/S 87 A …. PLEASE CLARIFY
Mr.Ramkumar: the answer is yes. if you are doing online filing, software will ensure you get proper rebate. Taxable income is after all deductions.
Sir,
my total income 5.25 lac,but i paid 65,000 for LIC,so my goss income is 4,60,000. so can get the income tax rebate Rs 2000 ( under section 87A). please reply.
Dear All,
Income Tax Dept. has released Income Tax Calculator for the F.Y.2014-15 in their official website. As per this, the Rebate of income-tax under section 87A is available for F.Y. 2014-15.
Is there a way for your employer, who does the TDS, to know that you dont have any other income? He should not assume your income wont exceed 5L. It is his discretion after obtaining an undertaking from you that your other income and including that it will be less than 5.00lakhs, to allow the deduction of income tax upto Rs.2000.
my texable income is 502000(saving:60000).if i add 5000 for ITR,then we will get rebate of 87A(TO LESS 5000)
Sir,
if a employee having total salary rs 420000 in fy 2014-15 having saving of rs 150000 in ppf. what will be duty of employer ded the tds from salary, he will ded rs 2000 or not( releife under section 87A )
CA Raghunathan:
Your advise is very opt. But it is TaxGuru and not Taxburu!
Finance (No. 2) Bill, 2o14 is still a Bill and has not been made into Finance Act. Taxburu should choose the terminology carefully.
GOOD AFTERNOON FRIENDS.IN BUDGET F.Y 2014-15 SECTION 87A DID NOT AMEMNDED BY FINANCE MINISTER. THEREFORE IF RESIDENT INDIVIDUAL WHOSE TOTAL INCOME LESS THAN 500000 THEN SUCH INDIVIDUAL WILL BE BENFIT OF 2000 IN TAXATION OF SECTION 87A IN F.Y 2014-15
FY 2014-15, that is current fiscal.
So in our view Rebate U/s. 87A is Available to Resident Individuals , whose total income does not exceed 5 Lakh rupees in even for Financial Year 2014-14 and for Subsequent Years.
In the above statement, FY 2013-14 OR 2014-15?
I do agree with the above opinion and as a result of this, an individual can show his income upto INR. 2,70,000 without paying any taxes. Similarly a senior citizen can show an income of INR. 3,20,000 without paying any taxes.
I too believe benefit of Sec.87A is available in Asst. Yr 2015-16 and thereafter.
Genuinely it should not be but it is not clear as per announcement of budger 2014-15. But as per tax claculation software from govt. it is considered so upto 270000/- the tax will be nil. (in slab of taxable income less than or eaqual to 5 lac.
This will prove the FM right in telling the salaried class that his increasing the limit from 2.0 lakh to 2.5 lakh will result in saving of Rs.5000/-. Else it would have been Rs.3000/= (of course in case of those whose taxable income is upto Rs.5.00 lakhs.
