Regarding Tax computation

Please can anyone assist me and let me know how much tax will be payable both under old income tax slab and new income tax slab . Till now I have not use new income tax slab option. So I can prefer anyone from it where tax liability comes lower

For Financial Year 2020-2021
Salary Income Rs 5,40,000
Short term capital gain Rs 2,61,000 from equity shares ( only delivery base and not intraday)
Section 80 C 150,000
Section 80 D Mediclaim 25,000

So I can plan accordingly right now .

Quick Summary
This discussion helps clarify income tax calculations for the financial year 2020-2021, comparing the old and new tax regimes. It breaks down how to calculate tax on salary income and short-term capital gains, considering deductions like Section 80C and 80D. The user seeks to understand which tax regime results in a lower overall tax liability.

Under old regime tax = 44696
under new regime tax = 57876
Thanks
How you arrive at this figure. Any working please
Under old regime
Tax on normal rate salary income less deduction tax = multiplied by 5 percentage =5750
and on STCG 261000 at 15 percentage = 39150
total 46696 including 4 percent cess mistakenly 44696

under new regime no deduction is allowed

tax on normal rate= 16500
on STCG= 39150

total 57876 including 4 percent cess
Ok Thanks a lot

Go for old regime as tax liability is lesser by approx 13000/-
