Step 1: Calculate Gross Total Income (GTI)
- Total income is classified under five heads:
- Income from Salary : Basic salary, DA, bonuses, allowances
- Income from House Property : Rental income, deemed income
- Income from Business/Profession : Business profits, professional earnings
- Income from Capital Gains : Sale of shares, mutual funds, real estate
- Income from Other Sources : Fixed deposits, dividends, lottery winnings
- Tip: Always maintain proper records of income sources for error-free tax filing!
Step 2: Apply Deductions & Exemptions (Save Tax!)
- Section 80C : Investments in PPF, EPF, ELSS, NSC, Tax-saving FDs
- Section 80D : Health insurance premium deductions
- Section 80E : Interest on education loans
- Section 80G : Donations to charities
- Standard Deduction (For Salaried & Pensioners) : ₹50,000 flat deduction
- Depreciation & Business Expenses : For self-employed & business owners
- Proper tax planning ensures you pay only the required tax, nothing extra!
Step 3: Compute Net Taxable Income
Formula:
📌 Gross Total Income (GTI) – Deductions = Net Taxable Income
Example:
- Total Income: ₹12,00,000
- Deductions (80C, 80D, etc.): ₹2,00,000
