'No tax upto 5 lakhs' is the wrong conception. Actually the rebate amount has been increased and not the basic exemption limit. Rebate u/s 87A is given to assessee whose 'Taxable Income' is below 5 lakhs (Which was Rs.3.5L till AY 2018-19). For computing taxable income, you have to deduct all the Chapter VI A deductions i.e 80C, 80D etc and if the resulting figure is below or upto 5 lakhs, you will not have any tax liability. But if the resulting figure is above 5 lakhs, then you have to pay tax in the same way as AY 2018-19 i.e previous year's slab rates.
Your salary 680000/- Less - standard Deduction. 40000/- Balance - 640000/- Less - 80's deduction 150000/- Balance - 490000/- Add - Other sources of income Total taxable income -- less than 5 lakhs
From AY 2020-2021 if taxable income of an individual is upto say 5 lakhs then - Tax .... Rs 12500/- Less Rebate u/s 87A ... Rs. 12500/- Net tax liability ... Rs. Nil
From AY 2020-2021 if taxable income of an individual Senior Citizen is upto say 5 lakhs then - Tax .... Rs 10000/- Less Rebate u/s 87A ... Rs. 10000/- Net tax liability ... Rs. Nil
please be clarified
