How to Check Your Income Tax Slab

Income at different levels is taxed at different rates. These rates are known as slab rates. You will have to pay tax based on the slab rates your income falls under.

Read on to know more about income tax slab rates.

Every earning individual is required to pay income tax if their income falls under taxable income. The tax is levied based on the income tax slab.

The taxpayers are divided into three categories based on their age-

  • Individuals below 60 years of age. The tax exemption limit for such individuals is Rs. 2.5 Lakhs.
  • Individuals between 60 and 80 years of age. The tax exemption limit for such individuals is Rs. 3 Lakhs.
  • Individuals above 80 years of age. The tax exemption limit for such individuals is Rs. 5 Lakhs.

Income Tax Slab Rates for Every Category

Tax Rates for Individuals Below 60 Years of Age-

Income Tax Rate
Below Rs. 2.5 Lakhs 0
Between Rs. 2.5 Lakhs and Rs. 5 Lakhs 5%
Between Rs. 5 Lakhs and Rs. 10 Lakhs 20%

These tax rates are applicable if you opt to pay tax as per the old tax regime. However, the tax rates are different in the new tax regime.

In the Union Budget 2020, Nirmala Sitharaman, the finance minister of India, introduced a new tax regime. The tax rates in this regime are lower as compared to the old regime. However, if you opt for the new tax regime, then you will have to forgo most of the exemptions and deductions. Furthermore, the tax exemption limit for every age group as per the new tax regime is Rs. 2.5 Lakhs.
