This excel calculator supports the inclusion of the following components, explanation for each is also provided along:
House Rent Allowance (HRA): Rent receipts can be shown for taking tax benefit for living in a rented house. Income tax exemption for HRA will be least of the following:
- The actual amount of HRA received as a part of the salary.
- 40% (if living in non-metro area) or 50% (if living in metro area) of (basic salary+Dearness allowance (DA)).
- Rent paid minus 10% of (basic salary+DA).
In some cases, the deduction for both HRA and home loan interest (u/s 24) can be taken together in case owned house is not in the same city or not at a commutable distance to office.
Transport/Conveyance allowance: Rs 800 per month is non taxable if salary has this component. This would not be exempted in case of employee also avail of car reimbursement. No proofs/bills required to submit for this exemption.
Children education allowance: Per school-going child 1200 per annum is non-taxable. Maximum for 2 children, so max 2400 per annum becomes non-taxable.
Grade/Special/Management/Supplementary Allowance: That’s a general component in the industry to complete CTC amount after putting 35-40% into basic and 20% in HRA. This is not an expense, but this head is kept just to put the rest of the CTC amount into some component.
Arrears: Generally arrears are fully taxable, but the employee may claim exemption u/s 89(1). One would need to compute income tax on the arrears if it would have been received in the actual year. Now the difference of income tax between payment year and actual year would be allowed for deduction.
Gratuity: If the amount is received before completion of five years of service with the employer, it should be taxable. Else it would be non-taxable up to Rs 10 lakh in the case of non-government servants. In the case of Government service employees, it would be fully non taxable.
Leave travel allowance (LTA): Two trips on a block of four years can be claimed for exemption for travel done inside India. The following amount would be non-taxable:
- Where journey is performed by rail; railway-fare in first AC class by shortest route to the destination.
- Where places of origin and destination are connected by rail but the journey is performed by any other mode than first AC class fare by the shortest route to the place of destination.
- Where the place of origin of journey and destination, or part thereof, are not connected by rail and journey is performed by any other transport; then (i) If a recognised public transport system exists between such places the first class or deluxe class fare of such transport by the shortest route, or, (ii) If in other case, first AC class fare for the distance of the journey by the shortest route, as if the journey has been performed by rail.
- The actual amount received
- The cash equivalent of leave balance (max 30 days per year of service)
- Maximum of 10 months of leave encashment, based on last 10 months average salary
- Rs. 3 Lakh
Performance Incentive/Bonus: This component would be fully taxable.
Medical allowance/Reimbursement: This component is on-taxable up to 15000 per year (or Rs 1250 per month) on producing medical bills.
Food Coupons – Non-taxable up to 50 Rs per meal. So a 22 working month and one meal per day would make Rs 1100 as non taxable. Sodexo or Accor ticket coupons may also be provided by the employer for the same.
Periodical Journals: Some employers may provide a component for buying magazines, journals and books as a part of knowledge enhancement for business growth. This part would become non-taxable on providing original bills.
Professional Development Allowance: If original bills are submitted to the employer, this allowance may become non-taxable. Generally payment done towards any technical course fee, certification etc done to enhance professional knowledge can be reimbursed.
Uniform/Dress Allowance: Some sections of employees mat get an allowance for the purchase of office dress/uniform. In such a case, the component would become non-taxable.
Telephone reimbursements – In some cases, companies may provide a component for telephone bills. Employees may provide actual phone usage bills to reimburse this component and make it non-taxable.
Internet Expenses – Employer may also provide reimbursement of internet expenses and thus this would become non taxable.
Car expense reimbursements – In case the company provides a component for this and employee use the self-owned car for official and personal purposes, Rs 1800 per month would be non-taxable on showing bills for fuel or can maintenance. This amount would be Rs 2400 in case the car is more capacity than 1600cc.
Driver salary – If the employee pays the driver salary for a self-owned or company-owned car, Rs 900 per month may become non-taxable if the employer provides a component for it.
Gift from relatives vs non relatives: Gifts from relatives would be non-taxable with no limits attached. Following relations are covered under the non-taxable rule:
- Spouse of the individual
- Brother or sister of the individual
- Brother or sister of the spouse of the individual
- Brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual
- Any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual
- Any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual, Spouse of the person referred to in clauses (2) to (6).
If gifts received from non-relative persons is worth more than Rs.50000, one is liable to pay the tax on whole value. Gift can be in form of a sum of money (in cash/cheque/bank draft/electronic transfer) or any articles.
Agricultural Income: If one has only only agricultural income, then it is fully exempt from income tax. If other income also there, a rebate on agricultural income would be provided at a 10-30% rate depending on the actual amount of agricultural income.

Bank/Fixed deposit/Post Office/NSC/SCSS interest: Interest earned on bank account, fixed deposits, post office, debt mutual funds/fixed maturity plans(kept less than one year) would be added to taxable income and taxed as per slab rates.

Long term gains from Share Trading/Equity Mutual funds: If stocks/equity mutual funds are kept for more than a year before the sale, it would be long term gains and such gains would be fully exempt from income tax.

Dear Sir,
I saw your website, very good content have been uploaded on it.
I have recently taken a house loan of 22L and i have started paying 20500 Rs per month as EMI for that for 20years.
My Gross Income if 6.5L which includes Basic, HRa, Conveyance and Special Allowance.
Can you please let me know what will be the tax liability (approx) on me for this financial year ahead.
Apart from it, i have been investing 1,00,000 Rs completely towards the limit of investment which includes my EPF, PPF and Life Insurance.
Regards
Nitin
Nitin,
It will be difficult to calculate the income tax without knowing following things:
1. How much is the interest portion and how much is principal in your home loan EMI currently.
2. Are you showing rent receipts to make HRA non-taxable. If yes, then how much is your HRA and how much rent receipts your are showing.
3. Whats the EPF deducted monthly as employer’s portion.
It will be better if you download the income tax calculator and fill all details and get your tax liability calculated
