For a  resident individual salaried person with net taxable income say Rs. 732000.00 (after all deductions), should one calculate tax liability this way (income is only from salary):

(Net taxable income: Rs732000=Rs250000+Rs482000)

for income upto Rs250000: Income tax to be paid: Rs. 0

for income from next Rs 250001 upto Rs500000: Income tax to be paid: @ 5%: Rs. 482000*5%=Rs24100

Add: Cess @ 3% on tax: Rs24100*3%=Rs723

Net tax liability: Rs 24100+Rs723=Rs24823

Rounded off: Rs 24820

Please indicate if the calculation is correct or not. If not, what should be the correct amount.
