Income Tax Slabs / Rates for Individuals for Financial Year 2018-19 (AY 2019-20)

The income tax is calculated differently for individuals based on various factors such as the type of income, amount of income, age, etc. In order to calculate the income tax from salary, an individual will require declaring the total amount of earning and the total amount of deductions. The government allows the individual to draw exemption on particular types of investment.

For salaried individuals, no changes have been made to the income tax rates proposed in 2017. However, the 3% Education Cess from the previous year has been replaced with a 4% “Health and Education Cess”. 

Furthermore, a standard deduction of Rs 40,000 has been introduced for all salaried individuals for transportation or medical reimbursement purposes.
