Dear Lokesh,

I shall insert an Excel worksheet (but comparatively simple) for Income Tax Calculation on salary for the Financial Year 2010-11 (Assessment Year 2011-12). Prior to that, I wish to explain some details to get an idea to enter the inputs.

On gross salary, the following deductions are applicable:

1) Professional Tax

2) House Rent in excess of 1/10th of salary subject to ceiling equivalent to HRA

3) Interest on Housing loan subject to ceiling Rs. 1,50,000.

4) Refund on Housing loan, savings, tuition fee for 2 children, etc., altogether subject to ceiling Rs. 100,000.

5) In addition, savings on infrastructure bonds up to Rs. 20,000.

6) Other than the above one lakh, 15000 to 20000 towards mediclaim premium, 40000 to 60000 towards treatment of specified diseases like Motor Neuron disease, 75000 to 100,000 towards disability, etc., are also admissible for deduction.

Now, taxable income can be calculated as follows:

Gross salary - total deductions = Taxable income

Taxpayers can be categorized into 3 groups:

1) Non-Seniors - Male

2) Non-Seniors - Female

3) Senior Citizens (65 years old & above)

If the taxable income is Rs. 2,40,000, a Senior Citizen is fully exempted from paying tax. Non-Senior Female has to pay in excess of Rs. 1,90,000 & Non-Senior Male in excess of Rs. 1,60,000.

Beyond the above income, one has to pay 10% up to Rs. 5,00,000, 20% thereafter up to Rs. 8,00,000, and 30% in excess of Rs. 8,00,000. In addition, an education cess @ 3% will be charged on Total Tax.

I shall provide an example:

Gross income of a Non-Senior Male - Rs. 12,00,000

Deductions (actual): Professional Tax - 12000, Housing loan interest - 2,00,000, Total savings/deductions - 2,50,000, Savings on Infrastructure bond - 25,000, other deductions over 1,00,000 - 50,000.

Admissible total deductions (subject to ceiling limits) - 12000 + 150000 + 100000 + 20000 + 50000 = 332000

Taxable income, 1200000 - 332000 = 868000

For Non-Senior Male:

Rs. 1,60,000 is exempted.

For the next 340000 (500000-160000), 340000 x 10% = 34000 -(1)

For the next 300000 (800000-500000), 300000 x 20% = 60000 -(2)

For the next 68000 (868000-800000), 68000 x 30% = 20400 -(3)

Tax - (1) + (2) + (3) = 114400

Also, for Non-Senior Female Tax is 110400 (114400-3000) and for Senior Citizens Tax is 106400 (114400-8000)

Education Cess, 114400 * 3% = 3432.

Total Tax - Rs. 1,17,832

Please refer to the Excel Sheet. Enter gross salary and deductions/savings applicable in the green color column. Results will be shown in the yellow color. The red color is used for static data.

I shall give an example:

Gross income of a Non-Senior Male - Rs. 12,00,000

Deductions (actual): Professional Tax - 12000, Housing loan interest - 2,00,000, Total savings/deductions - 2,50,000, Savings on Infrastructure bond - 25,000, other deductions over 1,00,000 - 50,000.

Admissible total deductions (subject to ceiling limits) - 12000+150000+100000+20000+50000 = 332000

Taxable income, 1200000 - 332000 = 868000

For Non-Senior Male:

Rs. 1,60,000 is exempted.

For the next 340000 (500000-160000), 340000 x 10% = 34000 -(1)

For the next 300000 (800000-500000), 300000 x 20% = 60000 -(2)

For the next 68000 (868000-800000), 68000 x 30% = 20400 -(3)

Tax - (1) + (2) + (3) = 114400

Also For Non-Senior Female Tax is, 114400 - 3000 = 110400

and Senior Citizens Tax is, 114400 - 8000 = 106400

Education Cess, 114400 * 3% = 3432.

Total Tax - Rs. 1,17,832
