  12. Hemant Saliya says:

    Hello Sir,

    My Gross Salary 420000/- + Consultant Income 110000/- + agricultural income 200000/-
    if i want to show agricultural income in Tax return how much tax i need to pay and how it would be calculated.

    Kindly let me know that how much amount I would have to pay to income tax?

  13. S Sudarshana says:

    MrSKDubey: It is not that simple as your question! Salary is only only aspect. Yes, all of us wants to minimize the tax. We have to consider various aspects which a financial investment consultant takes into consideration. An example some one took a huge policy but couldnot sustain to pay the premium and discontinued it. (near 50% of the new subscribers fall pray to taking/investing in instruments which are not suitalbe for them. Similary people go for housing loan with a penure of 20-25 years without worrying about the extra money required with the passage of time. But the safest and all must do is to take a pension fund (min: 1000 pm), PPF account with a minimum investment of Rs.1000 pa and ensure you will park 1.5 lakh towards the instruments that qualify for deduction u/s 80-C.

  14. S Sudarshana says:

    Mr.AKSingh: You have to give all inputs to compute the tax. Use the tax calculator for this. Approx: Salary – 80-C – 2,50,000(basic exemption). Then multiply by 10% as your net comes less than 5 lakhs. You are in 2.5 lakhs to 5.00 lakh btacket. After multiplying by 10% deduct Rs.2000 exemption u/s 87-A. (9880037215)

  15. santosh kumar dubey says:

    hello sir
    i want to know that my salary is approx 12 laths per year so please tell

    me how much
    we can maximum save tax by tax planning and where i could invest our money.

  16. Ajay Kumar Singh says:

    Sir,My gross salary Rs6,46,884 and saving u/s 80c is Rs89097 respectively. Kindly let me know that how much amount I would have to pay to income tax?

  17. S Sudarshana says:

    Rashi: He has to file the return and take the exemption u/s 87A and make the taxable income as nil. He has to file the return to get the exemption u/s 87A.

  18. Rashi says:

    Please let me know whether tax rebate the section 87A continues.???If so then a person who is having the taxable income up to 270000/- need not pay tax.

  19. S Sudarshana says:

    Mrs.Shephali (hope no error in this): Section 80-C is a part of Chapter VI-A. Express the figures properly. Rs.75,000/= in Chpater VI-A cannot include Rs.1,50,000 u/s 80-C?!

  20. S Sudarshana says:

    Mr Yogesh:
    As your taxable income will be less than Rs.5,00,000/- rebate u/s 87-A is applicable. Taxable income is after rebate under Ch.VI A.

  21. Shephali Bakre says:

    Dear Sir,
    My estimated income from salary during the accounting year 2014-15 would be approximately Rs. 5,75,000/-. After taking benefits from all deductions such as chapter VI-A i.e. Rs. 75,000/- and under section 80C Rs. 1,50,000/-, please let me know how much tax i will have to pay for the accounting year 2014-15.

  22. sudarshana says:

    Provided the property is a joint holding of 3 persons, loan is sanctioned for that property and the ratio between them is 33.33% each. Max can be 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 lakhs

  23. s sudarshana says:

    Mr.S.Ramamoorthy, Super Sr. Citizen: Why did you deduct Rs.3.00 lakh? You have to deduct Rs.5.00 lakh from taxable income and pay tax for the rest. i.e. for 8.00 lakh taxable salary, tax to be paid for Rs.3.00 lakh. Rs.6000 plus surcharge etc.
    Mr. Naren, Section 87-A is not removed, It is in existance now and in future also!
    Mr. Sa: For a salary above 4.2 lakh, you have to pay tax, unless you take housing loan whose interest upto Rs. 2.0 lakh per year is exempt now.
