What are the Latest Income Tax Slab Rates FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) after the Budget 2019? Is there any changes to applicable tax rates for individuals? Let us see the details.
I already covered the Budget 2019 related posts and you may refer them for your better understanding.
In this post, my concentration is to share you about the Latest Income Tax Slab Rates FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) and applicable Security Transaction Tax (STT).
Before jumping into Latest Income Tax Slab Rates FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21), first understand the difference between Gross Income and Total Income.
Many of us have the confusion of understanding what is Gross Income and what is Total Income or Taxable Income. Also, we calculate the income tax on Gross Income. This is completely wrong. The income tax will be chargeable on Total Income. Hence, it is very much important to understand the difference.
Gross Total Income means total income under the heads of Salaries, Income from house property, Profits and gains of business or profession, Capital Gains or income from other sources before making any deductions under Sections.80C to 80U.
Total Income or Taxable Income means Gross Total Income reduced by the amount of permissible as deductions under Sec.80C to 80U.
Therefore your Total Income or Taxable Income will always be less than the Gross Total Income.
There are three categories of individuals based on the age of taxpayer.
Hence, based on these three categories of individuals I have separated them and Latest Income Tax Slab Rates for FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) are as below.
Note: – Along with the applicable taxes, you have to additional surcharges at below rates.
You notice that there is no change in Income Tax Slab Rates for FY 2019-20. Then how can be it is judged that there is no tax on an individual whose income is up to Rs.5,00,00?
The reason is the change in Sec.87A in the Budget 2019. Earlier the limit under Sec.87A was up to Rs.3,50,000 and the deduction permissable was Rs.2,500. Now it is increased to Rs.5,00,000 and the deduction available is Rs.12,500. Refer my latest post on this (Revised Tax Rebate under Sec.87A after Budget 2019 ).
Now we understood the Latest Income Tax Slab Rates FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) . However, how to calculate the tax on our total income and how much is the tax benefits from Budget 2019 changes?
Let us not take few examples and calculate the income tax amount.
Let us say your next taxable income (after all deductions like Sec.80C and all) Rs.15,00,000.
Up to Rs.2,50,000-NIL
Rs.2,50,001 to Rs.5,00,000-Rs.12,500 @5%.
Rs.5,00,001 to Rs.10,00,000-Rs.1,00,000 @20%
Rs.10,00,001 and above (in this case Rs.15,00,000)=Rs.1,50,000 @30%.
So total tax will be Rs.12,500+Rs.1,00,000+Rs.1,50,000=Rs.2,62,500.
Let us say your next taxable income (after all deductions like Sec.80C and all) Rs.7,00,000.
Up to Rs.2,50,000-NIL
Rs.2,50,001 to Rs.5,00,000-Rs.12,500 @5%.
Rs.5,00,001 to Rs.7,00,000=Rs.40,000 @20%
Therefore, the total tax will be Rs.12,500+Rs.40,000=Rs.52,500.
Let us say your income is Rs.4,00,000
Up to Rs.2,50,000-NIL
Rs.2,50,001 to Rs.4,00,000-Rs.7,500 @5%.
However, using Sec.87A of IT Act, your tax liability will be ZERO.
An individual who is resident Indian and whose total income does not exceed Rs. 5,00,000 is entitled to claim rebate under section 87A up to Rs.12,500.
Security Transaction Charges or STT is the charges or tax when you buy or sell securities (excluding commodities and currency) through a recognized stock exchange.
The definition of securities involves the below products.
Therefore, whenever you buy and sell these securities through a recognized stock exchange, then you have to pay this STT.
Now let us understand the latest Security Transaction Tax (STT) applicable for FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21).
Hope now you became familiar with Latest Income Tax Slab Rates for FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) and also the way we can calculate our income tax liability (in simple terms). Any doubts??

Dear Vijaya,
It is hard for me to calculate for each and every one. I can help you only if you have certain doubts.
Dear Sir,,
Say for eg, if total taxable income after deductions is 900000 and upto 250000 Tax amount is Nil , then net taxable income is 650000 INR (900000-250000) on which slab rate at 250001 till 500000 and 500001 to 1000000 has to be applied. Is this right?
Dear Vijaya,
Yes, you are right.
Thank You Sir!
Dear Sir, My Taxable Income after deductions is 9088557. What will be my TDS
Dear Vijaya,
Does avoiding TDS means avoiding TAX?
Sir,
you have described the new rates of income tax slab for the assessment year 2020-21 alongwith all the changes i.e. U/s87A. But unfortunately you did not mention about the change in Stranded Deduction.
