There is a different method to calculate the Income Tax liability,if the Agricultural income is beyond Rs. 5000 and the Total Non-Agricultural income is above the basic exemption limit. The rebate is to be calculated and is deducted from the normally calculated Income Tax liabiilty. But is necessary that the above two conditions shall be satisgied to calculate the Rebate. This method is known as Partial Integration.

On the basis of the recommendation of the K.N.Raj Committee, Government of India has implemented the policy of “partial integration” of agricultural and nonagricultural income in 1973 . Although agricultural income is exempt income u/s 10(1)of the act , it is added to non-agricultural income for tax computation when non-agricultural income is higher than the exemption limit and agricultural income exceeds5000. Such integration is not applicable to companies, firms, local authorities or cooperative societies. This means that the marginal income tax rate is determined on the combined income of an assessee, but the rate is only applied to the non-agricultural tax base.
