Income tax computation involves understanding various aspects of income, taxes, and deductions. Taxes must be paid during the earning year under the “Pay as you Earn” concept, and are collected via voluntary payments, TDS, TCS, and levies. Income is classified under five heads: Salaries, House Property, Business/Profession, Capital Gains, and Other Sources. Gross Total Income (GTI) includes all income before deductions, while Total Income (TI) is GTI minus eligible deductions, determining the taxable amount. TI must be rounded off to the nearest ten. Personal expenses cannot be deducted, but charitable contributions to approved institutions may be deducted under Section 80G. Tax liability is calculated based on TI, with rebates available under Section 87A for resident individuals with incomes up to ₹7,00,000. However, non-residents, partnership firms, and HUFs cannot claim this rebate. Additionally, tax liabilities must be rounded off to the nearest multiple of ten, ensuring simplified tax computations and accurate filings.
Q1. When do I have to pay the taxes on my income?
Ans: The taxes on income can be finalized only on the completion of the previous year. However, to enable a regular flow of funds and for easing the process of collection of taxes, Income-tax Act has provisions for payment of taxes in advance during the year of earning itself or before completion of previous year. It is also known as Pay as your earn concept.
Taxes are collected by the Government through the following means:
1. Voluntary payment by taxpayers into various designated Banks such as Advance tax, Self-Assessment tax, etc.
2. Taxes deducted at source
3. Taxes collected at source
4. Equalisation Levy
Q2. Under how many heads the income of a taxpayer is classified?
Ans: Ssection 14 of the Income-tax Act has classified the income of a taxpayer under five different heads of income, viz.:
- Salaries
- Income from house property
- Profits and gains of business or profession
- Capital gains
- Income from other sources
Q3. What is gross total income?
Ans: Total income of a taxpayer from all the heads of income (as discussed in previous FAQ) is referred to as Gross Total Income.
Q4. What is the difference between gross total income and total income?
Ans: Total Income is the income on which tax liability is determined. It is necessary to compute total income to ascertain tax liability. sectionon 80C to 80U pprovides certain deductions which can be claimed from Gross Total Income (GTI). After claiming these deductions from GTI, the income remaining is called as Total Income. In other words, GTI less Deductions (under sectionon 80C to 80U) = Total Income (TI). Total income can also be understood as taxable income. Following table gives a better understanding of the difference between GTI and TI :
Computation of gross total income and Taxable Income
| Particulars | Amount |
| Income from salary | XXXXX |
| Income from house property | XXXXX |
| Profits and gains of business or profession | XXXXX |
| Capital gains | XXXXX |
| Income from other sources | XXXXX |
| Gross Total Income | XXXXX |
| Less : Deductions under Chapter VI-A (i.e. under ssection 80C to 80U) | (XXXXX) |
| Total Income (i.e., taxable income) | XXXXX |
Note : Inter source losses, inter head losses, brought forward losses, unabsorbed depreciation, etc., (if any) will have to be adjusted (as per the Income-tax Law) while computing the gross total income.
Note: If the eligible assessee has opted for concessional tax regime under section 115BAA, 115BAB, 115BAC, 115BAD and 115BAE the total income of assessee is computed without claiming specified exemptions or deductions:
Q5. How to round off total income before computing tax liability?
Ans: As per section 288A, total income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Law, shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of ten. Following points should be kept in mind while rounding off the total income:
- First any part of rupee consisting of any paisa should be ignored.
After ignoring paisa, if such amount is not in multiples of ten, and last figure in that amount is five or more, the amount shall be increased to the next higher amount which is in multiple of ten and if the last figure is less than five, the amount shall be reduced to the next lower amount which is in multiple of ten and the amount so rounded off shall be deemed to be the total income of the taxpayer.
Illustration for better understanding
If the taxable income of Mr. Keshav is Rs. 2,52,844.99, then first paisa shall be ignored, i.e., 0.99 paisa shall be ignored) and the remaining amount of Rs. 2,52,844 shall be rounded off to Rs. 2,52,840 (since last figure is less than five). If the total income is Rs. 2,52,845 or Rs. 2,52,846.01, then it shall be rounded off to Rs. 2,52,850 (since the last figure is five or above).
Q6. Can I claim deduction for my personal and household expenditure while calculating my taxable income or profit?
Ans: No, you cannot claim deduction of personal expenses while computing the taxable income.
While computing income under various heads, deduction can be claimed only for those expenses which are provided under the Income-tax Act.
Q7. Most of my income is given away in charity and I am left with just enough money to meet my personal requirements. What will be considered as my income?
Ans: What is done after the income is earned by you will not give you tax exemption. However, contribution to approved institutions will give you the benefit of deduction from taxable income under section 80G subject to limits specified therein.
Q8. My daughter stays in USA. She owns a house in India and has let it out. She has asked tenants to pay rent to me. She has not received any rent. Is she still liable to tax? What if she transfers the house to me?
Ans: Rental income is charged to tax in the hands of the owner of the property. Your daughter is the owner of the house and, therefore, she is liable to pay tax, even though you receive rent.
Q9. Is there any limit of income below which I need not pay tax?
Ans: At this moment Individual, HUF, AOP, and BOI having income below Rs. 2,50,000 need not pay any Income-tax. In respect of resident individuals of the age of 60 years and above but below 80 years, the basic exemption limit is Rs. 3,00,000 and in respect of resident individuals of 80 years and above, the limit is Rs. 5,00,000. For other categories of persons such as co-operative societies, firms, companies and local authorities, no basic exemption limit exists and, hence, they have to pay taxes on their entire income chargeable to tax.
Further, if an individual, HUF, AOP, BOI, and AJP opted for new tax regime under section 115BAC, threshold limit of Rs. 3,00,000 shall be applicable to them. (applicable w.e.f. Assessment Year 2024-25)
Q10. How to compute the total tax liability?
Ans: After ascertaining the total income, i.e., income liable to tax, the next step is to compute the tax liability for the year. Tax liability is to be computed by applying the rates prescribed in this regard. Following table will help in understanding the manner of computation of the total tax liability of the taxpayer.
Computation of total income and tax liability for the year
| Particulars | Amount |
| Income from salary | XXXXX |
| Income from house property | XXXXX |
| Profits and gains of business or profession | XXXXX |
| Capital gains | XXXXX |
| Income from other sources | XXXXX |

| Total Income (i.e., taxable income) | XXXXX |
| Tax on total income to be computed at the applicable rates (for rates of tax, refer “Tax Rate” section) | XXXXX |
| Less : Rebate under section 87A (discussed in later FAQ) | (XXXXX) |
| Tax Liability After Rebate | XXXXX |
| Add: Surcharge (discussed in later FAQ) | XXXXX |
| Tax Liability After Surcharge | XXXXX |
| Add: Health & Education cess @ 4% on tax liability after surcharge | XXXXX |
| Tax liability before rebate under sections 86, section 89, sections 90, 90A and 91 (if any) (*) | XXXXX |
| Less : Rebate under sections 86, section 89, sections 90, 90A and 91(if any) (*) | (XXXXX) |
| Tax liability for the year before pre-paid taxes | XXXXX |
| Less: Prepaid taxes in the form of TDS, TCS and advance tax | (XXXXX) |
| Tax payable/Refundable | XXXXX |
(*) Rebate under section 86 is available to a member of association of persons (AOP) or body of individuals (BOI) in respect of income received by such member from the AOP/BOI.
Rebate (i.e., relief) under section 89 is available to a salaried employee in respect of sum received towards arrears of salary, gratuity, etc.
Rebate under sections 90, 90A and 91 is available to a taxpayer in respect of double taxed income, i.e., income which is taxed in India as well as abroad.
Note : For provisions relating to Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) in case of corporate taxpayers and Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT) in case of non-corporate taxpayers refer tutorial on “MAT/AMT”.
Q11. How to round off the tax liability?
Ans: As per section 288B, tax payable by the taxpayer or tax refundable to the taxpayer shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of ten, following points should be kept in mind while rounding off the tax :
- First any part of rupee consisting of any paisa should be ignored.
- After ignoring paisa, if such amount is not a multiples of ten, and the last figure in that amount is five or more, the amount shall be increased to the next higher amount which is a multiple of ten and if the last figure is less than five, the amount shall be reduced to the next lower amount which is a multiple of ten; and the amount so rounded off shall be deemed to be the tax payable by the taxpayer or refundablele to the taxpayer.
Illustration for better understanding
If the tax liability or refund due to Mr. Keshav is Rs. 2,52,844.99, then first paisa shall be ignored, (i.e., 0.99 paisa shall be ignored) and the remaining amount of Rs. 2,52,844 shall be rounded off to Rs. 2,52,840 (since last figure is less than five). If the tax liability or refund due is Rs. 2,52,845 or Rs. 2,52,846.01, then it shall be rounded off to Rs. 2,52,850 (since the last figure is five or above).
Q12. What is rebate under section 87A for F.Y 2024-25 and who can claim it?
Ans: An individual who is resident in India and whose total income does not exceed Rs. 5,00,000 is entitled to claim rebate under section 87A. Rebate under section 87A is available in the form of deduction from the tax liability. Rebate under section 87A will be lower of 100% of income-tax liability or Rs. 12,500. In other words, if the tax liability exceeds Rs. 12,500, rebate will be available to the extent of Rs. 12,500 only and no rebate will be available if the total income (i.e. taxable income) exceeds Rs. 5,00,000.
Further, a maximum rebate of Rs. 25,000 is allowed under section 87A from the amount of income tax on total income, which is chargeable to tax under section 115BAC(1A). However, this rebate is allowed if the total income of assessee chargeable to tax under section 115BAC(1A) is up to Rs. 7,00,000.
Furthermore, if the total income chargeable to tax exceeds Rs. 7,00,000 and the tax payable on such income exceeds the difference between the total income and Rs. 7,00,000, he can claim a rebate with marginal relief to the extent of the difference between the tax payable on such total income and the amount by which it exceeds Rs. 7,00,000.
Q12. Can a partnership firm or HUF claim rebate under section 87A?
Ans: Rebate under section 87A is available only to a resident individual, hence, any person other than a resident individual cannot claim rebate under section 87A.
Q13. Can a non-resident claim rebate under section 87A?
Ans: Rebate under section 87A is available only to an individual who is resident in India, hence, non-residents cannot claim rebate under section 87A.
Q14. What is surcharge and how it is computed?
Ans: Surcharge is an additional tax levied on the amount of income-tax. In case of individuals/HUF/AOP/BOI/artificial juridical person, surcharge is levied @ 10% on the amount of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 50 lakh but doesn’t exceeds Rs. 1 crore.
Surcharge is levied @ 15% of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 1 crore but doesn’t exceeds Rs. 2 crore.(*).
Surcharge is levied @ 25% of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 2 crore but doesn’t exceeds Rs. 5 crore(*).
Surcharge is levied @ 37% of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 5 crore(*).
Notes:
(a) The surcharge rate for AOP with all members as a company, shall be capped at 15%.
(b) The enhanced surcharge of 25% & 37%, as the case may be, is not levied, from income chargeable to tax under sections 111A, 112, 112A and 115AD.
(c) The surcharge rate is nil if the total income of a ‘specified fund’ as referred to section 10(4D) includes any income in respect of securities as given under section 115AD(1)(a).
(d) If assessee opted for tax regime under section 115BAC(1), the enhanced surcharge rate of 37% isn’t levied. In other words, f the total income of an assessee exceeds Rs. 5 crores, the surcharge rate will be 25% instead of 37%.
In case of Firm, and local authority surcharge is levied at 12% if total income exceeds Rs 1 crore. In case of co-operative society, surcharge is levied at 7% if total income exceeds Rs 1 crore but doesn’t exceeds Rs. 10 crore and surcharge is levied at 12% if total income exceeds Rs 1 crore. In case where a co-operative society opted for the alternative tax regime under section 115BAD or 115BAE, the surcharge is levied at a rate of 10% on total income of Rs. 1 crore or more. In case of a domestic company surcharge is levied @ 7% on the amount of income-tax if the total income exceeds Rs. 1 crore but does not exceed Rs. 10 crore and @ 12% on the amount of income-tax if total income exceeds Rs. 10 crore (*). In case where a domestic company opted for alternative tax regime under section 115BAA or section 115BAB, the surcharge is levied at a rate of 10% on total income of Rs. 1 crore or more.
In case of a foreign company surcharge is levied @ 2% on the amount of income-tax if the total income exceeds Rs. 1 crore but does not exceed Rs. 10 crore and @ 5% on the amount of income-tax if total income exceeds Rs. 10 crore (*).
(*) A taxpayer can claim marginal relief from the amount of surcharge, subject to certain conditions. Refer to next FAQ for concept of marginal relief.
Illustration for better understanding
Mr. Kapoor is a doctor, his total income for the year amounted to Rs. 44,00,000. Will he be liable to pay surcharge, if yes, then how much?
**
Surcharge is additional tax levied on the amount of income-tax. In case of individuals surcharge is levied @ 10% on the amount of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 50 lakh. In this case, total income of Mr. Kapoor is below Rs. 50 lakh, hence, he will not be liable to pay surcharge.
Q15. What is marginal relief and how it is computed?
Ans: The concept of marginal relief is designed to provide relaxation from levy of surcharge to a taxpayer where the total income exceeds marginally above Rs. 50 lakh, Rs. 1 crore, Rs. 2 crore, Rs. 5 crore or Rs. 10 crore, as the case may be.
Thus, while computing surcharge, in case of taxpayers (i.e. Individuals/HUF/AOP/BOI/artificial juridical person) having total income of more than Rs. 50 lakh marginal relief shall be available in such a manner that the net amount payable as income-tax and surcharge shall not exceed the total amount payable as income-tax on total income of Rs. 50 lakh by more than the amount of income that exceeds Rs. 50 lakh.
In case of a company, surcharge is levied @ 7% (2% in case of foreign company) on the amount of income-tax if the total income exceeds Rs. 1 crore but does not exceed Rs. 10 crore and @ 12% (5% in case of foreign company) on the amount of income-tax if total income exceeds Rs. 10 crore. Hence, in case of company whose total income exceeds Rs. 1 crore but does not exceeds Rs. 10 crore, marginal relief will be computed as discussed above, but in the case of company having total income above Rs. 10 crore marginal relief is available in such a manner that the net amount payable as income-tax and surcharge shall not exceed the total amount payable as income-tax and surcharge on total income of Rs. 10 crore by more than the amount of income that exceeds Rs. 10 crore.

Surcharge is additional tax levied on the amount of income-tax. In case of taxpayers (i.e. Individuals/HUF/AOP/BOI/artificial juridical person), surcharge is levied @ 10% on the amount of income-tax where the total income of the taxpayer exceeds Rs. 50 lakh. In this case, total income of Mr. Mukesh exceeds Rs. 50 lakh and hence he will be liable to pay surcharge. Marginal relief is available in cases where the total income is slightly above Rs. 50 Lakh. The Computation of normal tax liability (i.e. liability without marginal relief) and tax liability under marginal relief (i.e. liability after marginal relief) will be as follows:
(1) Normal tax liability (i.e. without marginal relief)
| Tax on total income before surcharge (*) | 13,42,500 |
| Add: Surcharge (@10% on the amount of income-tax of Rs. 13,42,500 | 1,34,250 |
| Tax liability after surcharge (i.e., normal tax liability) | 14,76,750 |
(*) The normal tax rates for the financial year 2023-24 applicable to an individual below the age of 60 years are as follows:
- Nil upto income of Rs. 2,50,000
- 5% for income above Rs. 2,50,000 but upto Rs. 5,00,000
- 20% for income above Rs. 5,00,000 but upto Rs. 10,00,000
- 30% for income above Rs. 10,00,000.
Apart from above rates, cess will be computed separately.
(2) Tax liability under marginal relief (i.e. after marginal relief)
| Tax on Rs. 50 lakh (at the above discussed rates) | 13,12,500 |
| Add: Income above Rs. 50 lakh | 1,00,000 |
| Tax liability under marginal relief | 14,12,500 |
Conclusion
Normal tax liability (i.e. without marginal relief) comes to Rs. 14,76,750 and tax liability under marginal relief comes to Rs. 14,12,500. It can be observed that tax liability under marginal relief is lower and, hence, Rs. 14,12,500 will be the tax liability before cess. Total tax liability will be computed as follows:
| Rs. | |
| Tax liability after marginal relief (*) | 14,12,500 |
| Add: Health & education cess @ 4% | 56,500 |
| Tax liability | 14,69,000 |
(*) In this case, surcharge paid by Mr. Mukesh will be Rs. 70,000 computed as follows:
| Rs. | |
| Tax liability (before cess) on Rs. 51,00,000 after considering the provisions of marginal relief | 14,12,500 |
| Tax liability (before cess) at normal rates on Rs. 51,00,000 if surcharge is not levied | 13,42,500 |
| Surcharge (i.e. increase in tax liability) | 70,000 |

Sir, This illustration is very useful.
I want to ask one question about Income tax calculation.
I am Central Govt. employee. One of my colleague is living in rented house. For HRA exemption what can we take ie. Basic pay + Grade pay + DA or not. In some office DA is taking for HRA exemption calculation. There is no clarity in Income Tax Rule. Kindly clarify whether we can take DA for HRA exemption.
Thankig you,
Excellent article. All young and old tax payers should learn how to prepare their own ITRs and do so on line.. The CBDT is also equally efficient these days in refunding the excess tax paid. My wife’s ITR submitted on line in June 2014 has already collected the refund through the bank account. Hats off to CBDT and TAX GURU for helping the nation to undersatnd the system properly and act without fear.
Best wishes.
Very good and informative article which apart from solving any doubts is educative also. Even rounding off is a simple exercise, way it is to be done is well explained with illustration.
