Sorry - to continue - the slab where income tax starts is at Rs.2,50,000 and not Rs.5,00,000 as mentioned for sr citizens over 60 yrs, less than 80 yrs.

for government, the taxes we are paying is direct income for them. If they increase the limit under 80c or any other section, their income will get reduce indirectly.

But on the flip side, investments done under sec 80C help in economic growth of the country.

80C?
by shanti Patil on Mar 05, 2013 02:53 PM  | Hide replies

Whether your income is 5lakh or 1 crore deduction under 80C is only 1 lakh. It is useful to save some tax for low income group but does not matter much for high income group. It should be 1 lakh for income up to 5 lakh 2 lakh for income up to 10 lakh and 2 lakh 10 % of the income for income above 10 lakh. The budget should encourage people to save money then only inflation can be controlled. Moreover saved money is useful for the government.

Agree. But the saved money will be useful for the country only if it is invested in companies and not in Gold jewellery or bars :)

If the two houses are in different cities then the person can claim both. But he will also need to adjust income from his un-occupied home.

Wrong calculaton
by Subramani on Mar 05, 2013 02:22 PM  | Hide replies

If the annual income is 450000, then after the exception of 200000 the balance taxable income is 250000, and the tax liability is 10% of that, that is 25000. after deducting 2000, it will be 23000/- Who taught you maths?

No, you need to also deduct following components from your salary :
1. HRA (50% of your basic approx.)
2. Conveyance (9600/-)
3. Medical bills (15000)

After deducting these all, you still need to pay around 2500/-. As per new policy, you need to pay only 500/- as tax.

Apologies. That was an oversight :(

Actual numbers are as you have stated. The tax liability will be 23k.

Thanks for pointing it out.
