The following chart shows the Income tax rates for the year 2009-10 (Assessment year 2010-11). Let’s plan for the Income tax from now on to avoid taking home peanuts at the end of financial year thanks hefty chunk of our salary being deducted as tax. Instead we can calculate the income tax to be paid now itself and pay income tax by monthly installments. GConnect would come up with online IT Calculator 2009-10 soon.

In case of individual (other than II and III below) and HUF
| Income Level | Income Tax Rate | |
|---|---|---|
| i. | Where the total income does not exceed Rs.1,60,000/-. | NIL |
| ii. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.1,60,000/- but does not exceed Rs.3,00,000/-. | 10% of amount by which the total income exceeds Rs. 1,60,000/- |
| iii. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/- but does not exceed Rs.5,00,000/-. | Rs. 14,000/- + 20% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/-. |
| iv. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/-. | Rs. 54,000/- + 30% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/-. |
II. In case of individual being a woman resident in India and below the age of 65 years at any time during the previous year:-
| Income Level | Income Tax Rate | |
|---|---|---|
| i. | Where the total income does not exceed Rs.1,90,000/-. | NIL |
| ii. | Where total income exceeds Rs.1,90,000/- but does not exceed Rs.3,00,000/-. | 10% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.1,90,000/-. |
| iii. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/- but does not exceed Rs.5,00,000/-. | Rs. 11,000- + 20% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/-. |
| iv. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/- | Rs.51,000/- + 30% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/-. |
III. In case of an individual resident who is of the age of 65 years or more at any time during the previous year:-
| Income Level | Income Tax Rate | |
|---|---|---|
| i. | Where the total income does not exceed Rs.2,40,000/-. | NIL |
| ii. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.2,40,000/- but does not exceed Rs.3,00,000/- | 10% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.2,40,000/-. |
| iii. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/- but does not exceed Rs.5,00,000/- | Rs.6,000/- + 20% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.3,00,000/-. |
| iv. | Where the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/- | Rs.46,000/- + 30% of the amount by which the total income exceeds Rs.5,00,000/-. |
Surcharge: The surcharge on Income Tax for Individuals for total income exceeding Rs.10 lacs stands removed.
Education Cess: 3% of the Income-tax.

If it’s home mortgage, you can deduct the interest to the extent of Rs.150000 if the home is self occupied. Alternatively, the house can be rented out for deduction of interest without any limit. However, rental value has to be included as income in such cases

What I could understand from your comment is you want to calculate the arrears amount relevant to previous years. Then deduct the amount relevant to this year from the total arrears received. The result will be the arrears relevant to the previous years. The amount that you received as arrears but relates to this year should be shown as income for this year

you said it as Net salary. Gross salary should be taken for IT calculation less approved deductions as exemptions. Even taking your net plus incentives etc your annual income crossed 160000 thus you have to pay income tax beyond that @10% and to file ITR.

If salary is paid as mentioned by you, then you have to pay tax for the same. So tax deducted is in order now. Sorry We could not understand your query

Dear rajbir singh
Tuition fee paid by you to school/college and reimbursed to you by your office are two different things
You can claim Tfee paid to school/college as rebate for yr 2 children

Sir, I have taken loan (House building advance from my office i.e. central government office) I have not claimed interest on HBA for exemption of income tax during the repayment of principal amount. As the entire principal amount has been recovered and now interest is being recovered, can I claim exemption from income tax for the amount of interest on HBA?

Yes. You can deduct interest now. Income tax provisions say, interest paid or payable can be deducted.

Sir, please clarify the situation. A person is staying in a rented house. He has taken HBA and claiming interest towards exemption of IT. The house he has constructed is at the same station where he is working. Some of his relatives are staying at his own house from which he does not get any rent for that. So is he eligible for 3 claims ?:
1. HRA exemption as he is paying rent 2. Interest on HBA for IT exemption 3. HBA advance under 80 c.

With regard to income on house property, which is required to be included if the house is at the same station where employee is working though no rent is derived out, check this previous article of gconnect.
http://gconnect.in/gc/service/personal-income-tax/incomeloss-from-house-property.html
2. Interest on HBA is exempted (it is unlimited if rental value is shown)
3. HBA principal amount deducted can be shown under Section 80 C
4. HRA exemption can be availed

Sir, thank you very much for your very early reply. Please clarify the above problem also i.e taken house building advance from office itself (Central Govt) and not claimed interest for exemption. Can I claim interest on HBA for exemption after principal amount is fully recovered i.e. when actual interest is getting recovered? Sir while going through your replies, I just got a doubt for the reply you gave to Mr. m. ramkumar regarding exemption of tuition fee paid. Sir, I think the restriction of Rs.12000/- per child for 2 children was waived. The entire total amount of tuition fee paid to 2 children can be exempted restricting the amount to Rs.100000/- under 80 C. Please clarify and once again thank you very much for your immediate reply

Dear anuradha
As per well settled IT Clarifications vide circulars “Accrued HBA interest only” eligible for exemption “Not the Actual interest”.
Yes. the Tfee paid with out any limit of two children will be eligible for 80 c exemption within the overall cap of 1 lac.

My Question is : My home loan (principal + interest), and savings (like LIC, PPF etc) are not included in my Form16. Now i would like to add those things at the time of filing my returns. Could you tell me is it possible to include those items now ? If yes, please tell me the procedure. Is it possible efiling in that circumstances?At the time of filing is it required to provide proof of those savings (like bank EMI statement, LIC receipts etc) ?

Dear srinivas
You can do so by producing evidances now along with you ITR to IT dept and claim refund of IT if any. If you have indicated those things to your employer, he may allow all those eligible savings himself. No worry, approach an auditor this time and get it set right and get the refund. In your it is the better way than efiling.

Sir, thank you very much for your very early responses. I am confused. Because I got two contrary replies for the interest on HBA. For the query on 11.07.10 the reply given by you on 12.07.10 is interest can be deducted whether it is payable or paid. But the reply on 16.07.10 for the same query it is accrued HBA interest only eligible. That means I cannot claim the relief after HBA princial is fully recovered and interest started getting recovered. So please clarify whether I can claim or not.

Dear anuradha
From a IT circular it is clear that in case of Govt HBA, you can avail the exemption of interest o HBA while you are repaying the principal only. That means on Accrual basis only not on the years of actual payment of interest. In that circular they have categorically mentioned HBA of Govt servants.

Dear Anuradha
As per a IT circular it is categorically made,in respect of Govt HBA, interest on HBA may be availed while payment of HBA principal ie. only on accrual basis and NOT on actual interest payment basis. On this, audit objections are also there disallowing the actual HBA interest exemption.

I paid an amount of Rs.1,92,000 towards registration and stamp duty to Government of Andhra Pradesh while registering house property. My company gave me Rs.1,00,000 exemption under Section 80 C. I need to know whether the entire amount of Rs.1,92,000 paid is eligible for tax exemption and under what Section. They have already issued me Form 16. How should the Form 16 be rectified.

We could not understand your query. Do you mean to say tenant paid tax for the rental income received by you?

You may have to consolidate your income, deductions and tax deducted. In the columns provided for details employer and TDS show the details of employers and TDS pertaining to each employer separately.
