	even n if ur gross total income is 6.5 lacs and if u have put tax saving dep of 1.5 lacs or elss or ppf ur tax liability is zero u have to file return to claim it.total income net of deductions upto 5 lacs .... no tax

you mean an Amaadmi with total income of just below 5 lakhs (only Bank interest / no property /no stocks /bonds etc) with zero 87C investments claims has zero tax ?

Thanks for your reply.

now understood that IT filing threshhold is till the same Rs 2.5 lakhs .

but system applies new 87A rebate from 2500-12500 (if implemented after election) .

so if some one with Rs 499999 income -syatem charges 5% tax for 2-5>5 lakhs & then applies Rebate of Rs 12500 . Hence effectively some one earning 499999 will get total TDS refunds as zero tax after rebates.
