In this case, assuming that Gross Total Income = total income
Total Income = 325,000+20,000 = 345,000/-
Assuming Mr X is a resident for the Financial Year, he is eligible to adjust the unexhausted basic exemption limit against the STCG u/s 111A
In this case, Other income = 20,000
Adjustment of STCG against unexhausted Basic exemption limit = 140,000
Balance STCG taxable @ 15% = 345,000-140,000 = 185,000
Tax on above = 27,750
Add 2% Education cess = 555
Add 1% Secondary and Higher education cess = 277.5
Total tax and cess payable = 28,582.5
Rounded off u/s 288B = 28,580.0
And the book does not appear correct.
because in the act, the proviso for "relief'" has been marked with an (*) and the footnote says
The words "ten percent" need be substituted with the words "fifteen percent"
Even though the Finance bill of 2008 missed it, the rate for residents covered by the proviso is also 15%. 10% was the earlier rate.
