Dear Sir, For F.Y. 2022-23 in old regime standard deduction is available upto Rs.50000/-. Now my query is that this standard deduction how much amount to be claimed as Standard Deduction in the following case . Gross Salary Rs.75000/- Professional Tax Rs.600/- 80-C Deduction = Rs.25000/- and now taxable salary is 75000-600-25000=Rs.49400/- so whether Rs.49400/- to be claimed as standard deduction or Rs.50000/- should be claimed as standard deduction. But if later is claimed then taxable income will be Rs.(-)600. Please guide.
