Income Tax Calculator 2008-2009

If you are wondering how to calculate your income tax, don’t worry, Nithya has an answer to that, with his superb tax calculator. I made a blog post for the last financial year too about the 2007-2008 Income Tax Calculator, so here is the new version of that for the 2008-2009 financial year. Get Nithya’s Tax Calculator and fill up the excel sheet with the various inputs you need to provide and it will calculate the tax. Its covers all the aspects of it and works great. I was not that aware about income tax last financial year, so I didn’t plan well. This time though, and with the help of this tax calculator, I’ve been able to plan my investments to save tax. Thanks a lot Nithya!

Here are the Income Tax Rates in India:

* No income tax is applicable on all income up to Rs. 1,50,000 per year. (Rs. 1,80,000 for women and Rs. 2,25,000 for senior citizens)
* From 1,50,001 to 3,00,000 : 10% of amount greater than Rs. 1,50,000 (Lower limit changes appropriately for women and senior citizens)
* From 3,00,001 to 5,00,000 : 20% of amount greater than Rs. 3,00,000 + 15,000 (Rs. 12,000 for women and Rs. 7,500 for senior citizens)
* Above 5,00,000 : 30% of amount greater than Rs. 5,00,000 + 55,000 (Rs. 52,000 for women and Rs. 47,500 for senior citizens)

Surcharge

A 10% surcharge (tax on tax) is applicable if the taxable income (taking into consideration all the deductions) is above Rs. 10 lakh (Rs. 1 million). The limit of 10 lacs was increased to Rs. 1 crore (Rs. 10 million) with effect from 1st June 2007 for corporate assessees.

Education Cess

All taxes in India are subject to an education cess, which is 3% of the total tax payable.

@Azlaan: As far as I know educational loan doesn’t help in getting exemption. Only if you pay tution fees for your children (upto 2) only then you can get some exemption for the tution fee paid. However there is some exemption if you are repaying a home loan, not sure how much. I would still suggest you consult an expert.

As far as I know, Pensioners and everyone alike are admissible to all possible rebates, so it should be same for everyone. According to Section 80C, you can save upto Rs. 100,000 in any of the tax saving instruments like Provident Fund, Equity Linked Savings schemes (ELSS)

Hi,

I am salaried professional working in a company. I am also doing a higher studies course thru correspondance and I pay an amount of INR 35K for the whole year FY08-09. Can I claim this course fee payment for tax emeption?

Under section 80E, you only get deduction for any interest paid on an education loan. Then again there are some criteria to be eligible for the deduction. This should help you:

Section 80E
To avail benefits under section 80E, an individual must borrow money from certain financial institutions, banks or approved charitable institutions for the purpose of pursuing a full-time education course. The repayment of the principal amount of this loan and payment of interest should happen from the taxable income of the individual. If the above conditions are met, the individual is eligible for deduction of the entire interest payout made during that year.

Section 80C
Under Section 80C, you can avail a deduction if the tuition fees are paid for the full-time education of children. If you do not fall in either of the above categories, there would be no deduction available to you regarding payment of fees.

My Gross income is 5,11,158. I saved Rs. 1,00,000 as per Income tax provisions. What will be my tax including Edn cess?

Under section 80E, one gets deduction for any interest paid on an education loan.But in some articles I read that interest is admissible only if the loan is taken for some perticular courses such as tech, management, medical and science.
Pl. clearify if the loan deduction would be admissile for graduation in economics for study abroad?
sk

I’m not too sure about this one. As far as I know, its only admissible for full time courses for graduation and post graduation. Economics isn’t specifically mentioned anywhere, but if its a graduation course from a recognized university and you have a loan for it from a Recognised Indian Bank it should be admissible, I’m not sure though. I still advice you to please consult an Income Tax expert.

Hi,
A person is born on 25/04/1944. Is he considered as a Senior Citizen for filing of Income Tax returns for the assessment year 2009-10?

Tax with Arrear: Gross (12month’s Salary) + Gross Arrear – P.Tax (arrear) – P Tax (12month’s salary) – 80C savings – std Deduction.

Tax without arrear:
Method A
Gross (12month’s Salary) – P.Tax (arrear) – P Tax (12month’s salary) – 80C savings – std Deduction
Method B
Gross (12month’s Salary) – P Tax (12month’s salary) – 80C savings – std Deduction

I want to know Method A or Method B whichever is correct.
