Income tax is a direct tax levied by the Government of India on the income earned by individuals, businesses, and other entities during a financial year. The tax is calculated based on income slabs, with higher income attracting higher tax rates under a progressive taxation system.
Every taxpayer must calculate their tax liability and file an Income Tax Return (ITR) before the due date, even if tax has already been deducted at source (TDS) by an employer or other payer.
Taxpayers in India can choose between two tax regimes:

Income tax is calculated by applying slab-based tax rates to your total taxable income after subtracting eligible deductions and exemptions, based on the tax regime you choose.
The old regime offers higher tax slabs but allows deductions like Section 80C and HRA. The new regime offers lower slabs but removes most deductions and exemptions.
If you have significant deductions like home loan interest, HRA, or 80C investments, the old regime may be beneficial. If you have fewer deductions, the new regime often results in lower tax.
Under the new regime, individuals with taxable income up to ₹7 lakh can claim a tax rebate under Section 87A, effectively making their tax liability nil, subject to prevailing rules.
Yes, filing an ITR is mandatory if your income exceeds the basic exemption limit, even if TDS has already been deducted by your employer or other payer.
