What is Income Tax?

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.

Old vs New Tax Regime

Taxpayers in India can choose between two tax regimes:

  • Old Tax Regime — Offers higher tax slabs but allows numerous deductions and exemptions, such as Section 80C, HRA, LTA, and home loan interest.
  • New Tax Regime — Offers lower tax slabs and rates but removes most deductions and exemptions, except for a few like the standard deduction.

Which regime is better depends on how many deductions you can claim. Taxpayers with significant investments, HRA, or home loan interest often benefit more from the old regime, while those with fewer deductions often save more under the new regime.

Income Tax Slabs (New Regime – FY 2025-26)

Under the new tax regime, income is taxed at the following slab rates:

  • Up to ₹3,00,000 — Nil
  • ₹3,00,001 to ₹7,00,000 — 5%
  • ₹7,00,001 to ₹10,00,000 — 10%
  • ₹10,00,001 to ₹12,00,000 — 15%
  • ₹12,00,001 to ₹15,00,000 — 20%
  • Above ₹15,00,000 — 30%

Note: Tax slabs are subject to change with each Union Budget. Always verify the latest slabs on the official Income Tax Department website before filing your return.

Factors That Affect Your Income Tax

Several factors determine your final tax liability:

  1. Total Income — Higher income generally results in a higher tax liability due to progressive slab rates.
  2. Deductions and Exemptions — Claiming eligible deductions under the old regime can significantly reduce taxable income.
  3. Tax Regime Chosen — The old and new regimes can result in very different tax outcomes for the same income level.
  4. Source of Income — Salary, business income, capital gains, and other income types may be taxed differently.

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.
