Newly introduced section 87a of income tax act


This query is : Resolved 

08 March 2014 Hello,

Under section 87A of Income tax act, rebate of Rs. 2000 is allowed to the person having net income of 5 lakh or < 5 lakh.

Whether this rebate is also allowed against Education cess and Higher education cess ?

Whether education cess is required to pay, even though, income is < 5 lakh ?

Thanks in advance.

08 March 2014 Cess is caluculated on tax
.
87A will be reduced from tax
.
.
So assume actual tax liability 4k after availing 2k u haveto pay tax of 2k and cess on 2k
.
If tax is nil cess also nil
