Let us discuss about the “tax credit Rs. 2000/-“, whose income will fall in between 2 to 5 lac according to Budget-2013.
Let us consider a person of age with in 60yrs, whose taxable income is 3 lac.
Now acc. to current rule (F.Y: 2012-2013) his/her tax calculation is as follow-
Tax @ 10% for the amount 1 lac (300000-200000=100000) = 10,000/-
Edu. cess @ 3% = 300/-
So, total tax = 10,300/-
Now as per Budget-2013 (F.Y: 2013-2014), whether his/her tax will be-
Case-1
10300-2000=8,300/- ,or
Case-2
10000-2000=8,000/-
Edu. Cess @3% = 240/-
Total Tax = 8,240/-
or, anything else. I think Case-2 will be acceptable.
