    Which age group do you belong to, and how much do you need to pay this year? Do you have the answer to all these questions, or are you looking for answers? Well, here in this article we will tell you the Income Tax slab for FY 2020-21 (AY 2021-22)

    In India, income tax is levied based on a slab system on an individual. Now, different slabs have different tax rates, where the tax rates keep increasing with the increase in the income slab.

    Income Tax Slab for FY 2020-21 (AY 2021-22)

    With every new budget, such tax slabs tend to change.

    Moreover, a new income tax regime was announced in Budget 2020, according to which individuals will have the option to pay taxes as per new tax slabs from FY 2020-2021

    Here the taxpayers are divided into three categories:

    • Below the age of 60 years: ‘Individuals’ (residents as well as non-residents).
    • Above 60 years but below 80 years: Resident Senior Citizens
    • Above 80 years of age: Resident Super Senior Citizens

    What is the new regime of income tax?

    In Budget 2020, with the new tax regime, the tax department has introduced a new section 115BAC. From FY 2020-21 onwards, the individual/HUF can choose from the two tax regimes – the old and the new.

    Both the tax regimes have their own tax slabs, rates, exemptions, and deductions. Any individual who chooses the new tax regime from FY 2020-21 onwards will have to give up certain deductions and exemptions.

    Below are the deductions and exemptions that a taxpayer will have to give up if they choose the new tax regime.

    1. Interest on housing loan (Section 24)
    2. Relocation allowance
    3. Conveyance
    4. Daily expenses during employment
    5. Other special allowances [Section 10(14)]
    6. Children education allowance
    7. Standard deduction
    8. Helper allowance
    9. House Rent Allowance
    10. Leave Travel Allowance (LTA)
    11. Professional tax
    12. Chapter VI-A deduction (80C,80D, 80E and so on) (Excluding Section 80CCD(2) and 80JJA)

    Allowances Allowed under the new tax regime

    The following under Section 10(14) are allowed to the individual and HUF.

    • Transport Allowance granted to a ‘divyang’ employee (physically disabled employees) to support their commute between the place of residence and place of duty.
    • Conveyance Allowance to meet the expenditure on conveyance in performance of duties of an office;
    • Any Allowance granted to help individuals meet the cost of travel on tour or on transfer;
    • Daily Allowance to meet the ordinary daily charges incurred by an employee on account of absence from his normal place of duty.

    Income Tax Slab (Foreign Company)

    The tax would be levied @50% + Cess @4% + Surcharge (applicable rates)

    Any other Income

    Tax would be levied @40% + Cess @4% + Surcharge (applicable rates)

    Clear your doubts:

    After Budget 2020, people got confused about whether there will be any tax deduction on an income up to Rs. 5 lakh? However, it is partially true. The basic exemption limit has not been changed, which means there will be no tax up to Rs 2.5 lakhs for an individual/HUF.

    Moreover, if the income of such a taxpayer does not exceed Rs 2.5 lakhs, then you will not be applicable to pay tax after availing the benefit of rebate u/s 87A. But as your taxable income crosses the threshold of 5 lakhs, then you will not be eligible for availing the tax benefits of rebate u/s 87A. However, the tax payable will be 5% for the income above 2.5 lakhs but up to Rs 5 lakhs.

    Let’s use an example to understand this:
