u/s 87A, 'total income' means 'taxable income'.

total taxable income

Hello,
The Total Income here means Income under all heads(Salary,Income from house property,Income from Business and profession, income from capital gain, Income from other sources) minus all deduction u/s 80C to U.
  • Negative income from House property (like Interest on house loan for self occupied property) is also to be reduced /considered to get total income.
  • Deduction u/s 80C to 80U like 80C,80D,80DD,80DDB etc also to be deducted to get total income.
  • In simple words  Five lakh income limit is to be considered on amount on which Income tax is to be calculated.
