Income Tax — Frequently Asked Questions
Each question is answered directly below. Expand any item for the full response.
Which tax slabs matter for FY 2024-25 in India?
Under the new regime for FY 2024-25, the slab structure broadly starts at nil up to Rs. 3 lakh, then 5% from Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 7 lakh, 10% from Rs. 7 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh, 15% from Rs. 10 lakh to Rs. 12 lakh, 20% from Rs. 12 lakh to Rs. 15 lakh, and 30% above that. Health and education cess is generally added on the computed tax.
What is the Section 87A rebate under the new regime?
For FY 2024-25, eligible resident individuals under the new regime can generally get rebate if taxable income is up to Rs. 7 lakh, making tax effectively nil before cess. For salaried taxpayers, the standard deduction can make the gross-income cut-off higher than Rs. 7 lakh.
Why does the old regime still matter?
The old regime can still be useful when you claim substantial deductions or exemptions such as HRA, Section 80C, home-loan interest, or other eligible items. The better regime depends on your actual structure, not only on salary level.
What does an income tax calculator usually not capture perfectly?
Special income such as capital gains, perquisites, surcharge impact, and some employer-specific payroll adjustments may need separate review. Treat the calculator as a strong estimate, then confirm with the exact nature of your income.
