No you should not carry a calculator which has additional features like Tax + or Tax - . It must be an ordinary calculator with basic calculation features.

Yes man, "TAX +" and "TAX -" options are available in a normal ordinary calculator also. So you can use it in your exams. I also used the same for my exams.

Good luck

Students are allowed to use battery operated portable calculators in all the subjects. The calculators can be of any type with up to 6 functions, 12 digits and up to two memories. (Attempt to use any other type of calculators not complying with the specifications indicated above or having more features than mentioned above shall tantamount to use of "unfair means" and would fall within the purview of paragraph 25 stated above.)
Note:

Printing models of calculators are not allowed.

ii)

Exchange of calculators between the students is not permitted.

iii)

The calculators should be noiseless and cordless.

iv)

The Superintendent of the examination has complete authority to disallow the use of a particular calculator not complying with the conditions stated above. (It may be noted that each step/working of any problem should invariably be indicated by the candidate in the answer book, irrespective of use of calculator. Candidates are advised to follow this instruction in their own interest.)

Scientific calculators are not allowed.

vi)

Candidates are advised not to bring the pager, cellular phone, digital diary or other electronic gadgets inside the examination hall except the calculator as defined in Para 29 above. Violation of these instructions shall tantamount to adoption of unfair means and the candidates will be liable for punishment which may include debarring from appearing in the examination.

25.

If a candidate is found to have resorted to or has made attempts to resort to unfair means pertaining to an examination, the Council may, on receipt of a report to that effect and after such investigation as it may deem necessary, take such disciplinary action against the candidate concerned as it may think fit. The Superintendent of the examination has absolute power to expel a candidate from the examination hall, if in his opinion, the candidate has adopted or attempted to adopt unfair means in connection with the examination. Any candidate expelled from the examination hall must, before leaving the hall, submit to the Council his/her explanation in writing through the Superintendent of the examination.
