 What is difference between Exemption fromTax and deduction from tax. Please expalin?

Best Answer

There are certain incomes on which TAX is not charged (fully or to som extent) they are called tax exempted incomes. For example the income from PPF investment is TAX exempted.

Your 2nd phrase should have been "deduction from income" or "tax deduction". There are some incomes, where employer or payer is expected to deduct the TAX (at a standard rate) in advance, before maing the payment to you. That is called Tax Deducted at source. Example, bank deducts 10% TDS, before the final payment of interest on FD. A corporate tenant will deduct 15% TDS before making the rental payments.

Exemptions means the Amounts not at all charged any taxes, while calculating the Gross Total Income in that the amounts exempted u/s.10. Ex. 10(16) - Scholarship

Deductions means the amounts deducted partial or full based on conditions, it includes in the Gross Total Income, after that they are deducted u/s.80. Ex. u/s.80G - Donation

I agree with Mr.Purushotham view.
