3Step 3 — Slab-wise Tax Calculation
How your income is taxed slab by slab
Income tax is calculated progressively. Only the portion of income that falls in a particular slab is taxed at that rate — not your entire income. After slab tax, Section 87A rebate is applied (if eligible), followed by surcharge and 4% Health & Education Cess.

5Step 5 — Balance Tax Payable / Refundable
Tax payable after TDS credit & interest u/s 234B, 234C
If TDS has already been deducted by your employer (as per Form 16 / 26AS), the balance tax payable is total tax minus TDS already deducted. If advance tax was not paid on time, interest u/s 234B and 234C may apply. This is for the recommended regime.

About these interest sections

Section 234B — Interest at 1% per month is charged if advance tax paid is less than 90% of assessed tax. Applicable when total tax liability exceeds ₹10,000.

Section 234C — Interest at 1% per month for deferment of advance tax instalments (June, September, December, March deadlines).

Note: For salaried employees where TDS is deducted by the employer each month, 234B and 234C interest typically does not arise if TDS covers the full liability. Actual interest depends on the advance tax payment schedule.

TDS on salary u/s 192 — employer's responsibility

Every employer must deduct TDS on salary under Section 192 based on the employee's projected annual tax liability. From FY 2024-25, the New Tax Regime is the default. Employees opting for Old Regime must declare in writing at the start of the financial year. The monthly TDS = Annual tax ÷ 12. Any delay in depositing this TDS attracts interest under Section 201(1A).
