Tax Calculation
by vijay on Jun 21, 2012 11:39 AM

Hi Mahesh,

First of all I would like to say thanks to you that you help us to handle tax problems. now my question is that Is the tax apply on basic salary or whole pakage ?

Ex:
As my basic is 50000
HRA:20000
CVA:800

SO do we need to pay for 50000*12 or (50000 20000 800)*12 ?

Need some clarification on the Tax Calculated
by Ananya on Mar 05, 2012 11:12 AM

I am a female with Rs25000/Month as salary and 2000 variable component above it as incentive. I am working from September 20th 2011 till present. I have started an ELSS (HDFC tax saver-SIP) investment in December and have invested 20,000 till now in the same. Am contributing towards charity exempt under 80G since December monthly, amounting to Rs.2600 till march 2012. Need to know what my tax amount would stand at. The company official CA is giving my investment the same tax treatment as to general investments in mutual funds.Help me cross check.
