How it works

Why tax isn't a flat percentage

Income tax is progressive: only the income within each slab is taxed at that slab's rate. The new regime offers lower rates but fewer deductions. The standard deduction (₹75,000 for salaried) and the Section 87A rebate keep tax nil up to ₹12 lakh taxable income, and a 4% cess applies on top.
