Income Tax Slab for Salaried Employees

All about Individual Income Tax Slab

With the financial year 2019-20 coming to a close, it is time to review your tax liabilities and prepare to file your income taxes for the year. While there is still ample time to file your income tax, it is best to learn about the various income tax slabs and rates applicable for FY 2019-20.

In India, every individual, Hindu Undivided Family, business, corporate and other such establishments are required to pay income tax. The administration, collection and recovery of income tax are set according to the regulations under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Even though your income tax is paid on the basis of your monthly earnings, it is calculated annually. 

Your income tax is calculated on the basis of your earnings from 5 heads of income. Namely:

  • Salary.
  • Income from capital gains.
  • Income from business or profession.
  • Income from house property.
  • Income from other sources.

Now, the government puts forth various tax slabs applicable to individuals below 60 years of age, senior citizens and super-senior citizens. Income from all the sources except capital gains is taxed according to these slab rates.

Following is an elaboration on the individual income tax slab for salaried individuals who are below 60 years of age for the financial year 2019-20.

An additional 4% health and education cess are also applicable on the tax payable calculated according to the above tax slabs for a salaried individual.

Apart from this, an additional surcharge is applicable for individuals with net income above Rs. 50 Lakh. The amount of surcharge applicable can be illustrated as follows:

Income Tax Rebate for Salaried Person

According to the Union Budget 2019, salaried individuals can avail an income tax rebate under Section 87A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This rebate allows you to pay a marginally lower tax amount to individuals earning an income below Rs. 5 Lakh. This rebate allows individuals belonging to the lower-income bracket to reduce their tax liabilities.

Eligibility for salaried individuals to claim the rebate under Section 87A for the financial year 2019-20:

  • One must be an Indian resident.
  • The total income after all the deductions under Section 80 should not be higher than Rs. 5 Lakh.

This rebate limit is set at Rs. 12,500. This means that if your total tax payable is less than Rs. 12,500, then the total amount will be rebate under Section 87A.
