Income Tax Estimator does not match Tax Slabs

Hi,

I am trying to estimate tax liability with an example on the Income Tax Estimator on the official IT website & the Income Tax calculator on ClearTax website. Both are giving same answers. But that answer does not match with the Income Tax slabs. Kindly calculate the below let me know what is the tax liability. Also cross check it in online calculators.

Senior Citizen (60+, Male, Pensioner) - New Tax Regime

Salary = 4,50,000

Standard Deduction = 50k

Interest Income = 3,10,000

Total taxable income = 7,10,000

What should the Income tax be? Kindly also input the above values in IT websites Tax Estimator & ClearTax websites tax calculator.

Side Note:

When I increase interest income to 3.2L (total = 7.2L) bothe sites still gives an answer that doesnt match the IT slabs.

In both of the above situations it shows that sec 87A rebate was partially applied! (when in fact it should not have been at all)

When interest income is 3.3L or more (total=7.3L) no rebate is applied.

Quick Summary
A user is experiencing discrepancies between the official Income Tax Estimator, ClearTax, and the standard tax slabs for a senior citizen under the new tax regime. Despite inputting salary, standard deduction, and interest income, the calculated tax liability and application of Section 87A rebate do not align with the expected slab rates. Further discussion suggests this might be due to 'Marginal Relief in the New Tax Regime', which can affect calculations for certain taxable income ranges.

Rebate decreases your IT. What is the final tax liability showing on both websites please? Are you using Old Tax Regime or New Tax Regime?

Thanks for your response. My example considered the New Tax Regime. I had already mentioned it in bold.

For Interest Income 3.1L (total taxable=7.1L) it showed Tax as 10,400 which did not follow the tax slab formula.

However, doing further research I found this article which talks about "Marginal Relief in the New Tax Regime"

It explains why the final tax calculation does not follow the tax slab formula in between the Taxable amt of 7,00,001 to 7,27,777. A very useful information!

Your correct! there is wrong output between both. Believe in yourself and contact @ Raja or @ Sabyasachi as they work as tax accountants

 

 

 

New regime:

if you take 3 lakh slabs total its 7370404

If you take 2.5 slabs its 727160

Its all rubbish online

just enter your salary i.e salary without availing exemptions such as HRA, LTA, professional tax and so on. (if you want to know your tax liability under the new tax slabs), what does this mean? 

Basic + HRA+ conv Allowances+ Special allowance= Gross income - other Deductions - pt, pf / esi = Taxable income 

Does it mean we have to enter basic? 

 

Sec 115bac follow as per act

Thats what I did and its not equal to calculator. S deduction at 50k allowed for fy23-24. Thats what querist is asking.

Tax Calculator (incometaxindia.gov.in)

when I opted for 115BAC, the tax bracket and online value both matched.
