Introduction:

1.0    Whether one agrees with the provisions under the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) or not, one thing is certain that it has created a new environment with its language. While reading it, one gets an exhilarating experience. However, having lived with the most complex piece of legislation in the country, it is not possible to believe that Income Act can be written in such a language. As we all know, each language has its own nuances. Therefore, comprehending the provisions poses the reader with several issues.

2.0  Although the length of the Code is much compact with 285 sections, relationship between various sections, clauses, sub-clauses and Schedules makes one wondering from where to start. Should one start reading with Income from Employment or Capital Gain? Or should one start with the Schedule containing the definition clause? Having read it various times, one is still not clear about its ultimate impact on the final tax liability. Such problems arises for two reasons:

Firstly, the language is totally new, the words deployed, the terminology used is fresh. Hence, it takes considerable time in discerning its true meaning. Having burnt the fingers for 50 years under the existing Income Tax Act, one moves cautiously while reading between the lines.

Secondly, some of the concepts are new; the methods proposed for computation of total taxable income, tax payable etc. are also fresh. This poses the problem for the reader in finding out intricate relationship between various clauses and sub-clauses.

An easy way out for solving all these issues is to take a panoramic view of various sections and go deeper inside thereafter. This will help in understanding the various clauses in proper perspectives and in its true colour. An attempt has been made hereunder to provide holistic view of the DTC by providing a panoramic view.

Various templates have been devised based on the provisions of DTC. These templates are applicable in the case of a Male Individual. It provides methodology to be used for computing total taxable income under various heads, deductions to be claimed, exemptions permitted etc.. It may be noted that the templates are not complete in it, as some of the provisions might have been skipped over through oversight. The idea of devising it is to have a bird eye-view and look at it from different angle. It will be advisable to have a look at it and read the DTC thereafter.

Looking to the size of the templates one may get frightened. However, it should be noted that as an attempt has been made to make it as comprehensive as possible. Otherwise, who earns that kind of income in the life, requiring one to refer to each and every clause and sub-clause of DTC?

And lastly, these templates have been devised keeping in mind a person deriving income from salary, capital gains and other sources. Template for income from business has not been included herein. It is a subject itself requiring special treatment.

Hope, the templates presented herein below will help in having some clarity.
