Dear Parv, if your tax liability before providing for rebate under 87A is Rs 4000 then yse, you tax refund shall be Rs 6000.

Hi, I find Sec 87A very confusing.

My annual CTC is below 5 lpa so I asked my employer to give me a rebate of 2000 rupees under section 87A. My employer gave me the rebate.

Now, I find that even though my salary is less than 5 lpa but my income from FD interest and stock market crosses 5 lpa.

Do I have to pay 2000 rupees tax before I e-file my returns ?

Any response will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello everyone..

I have a query regarding section 87 A

Business income = 218920

Agricultural Income= 356510

Total= 575430

Now, Shall I calculate Rebate on 218920 or first I calculate tax on whole 575430 and then I claim Rebate ??
As 218920 is above the exemption limit of Rs. 200000, so tax will be levied on 575430
Please advise, Its urgent.
