How tax on ₹11 lakh is calculated
Start with your gross salary of ₹11,00,000, subtract the ₹75,000 standard deduction, and tax the remaining ₹10,25,000 slab by slab.
Gross salary
₹11,00,000
Standard deduction
−₹75,000
Taxable income
₹10,25,000
| Income slab | Rate | Amount taxed | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹0 – ₹4L | Nil | ₹4,00,000 | ₹0 |
| ₹4L – ₹8L | 5% | ₹4,00,000 | ₹20,000 |
| ₹8L – ₹10.25L | 10% | ₹2,25,000 | ₹22,500 |
| Tax on slabs | ₹42,500 | ||
| Less: Section 87A rebate | −₹42,500 | ||
| Add: 4% health & education cess | ₹0 | ||
| Total tax payable | ₹0 | ||
Your taxable income of ₹10.25 lakh is within ₹12 lakh, so the Section 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000) cancels the slab tax. Salaried people pay no tax up to ₹12.75 lakh. The rebate does not cover special-rate income such as equity capital gains, which is taxed separately.
New vs old regime on ₹11 lakh
The old regime has higher rates but lets you claim deductions. Here is what each option costs at your salary.
| Option | Deductions* | Taxable income | Total tax |
|---|---|---|---|
New regime Standard deduction only | ₹75,000 | ₹10,25,000 | ₹0 |
Old regime No deductions | ₹50,000 | ₹10,50,000 | ₹1,32,600 |
Old regime 80C ₹1.5L + 80D ₹25k | ₹2,25,000 | ₹8,75,000 | ₹91,000 |
Old regime + NPS ₹50k + home-loan interest ₹2L | ₹4,75,000 | ₹6,25,000 | ₹39,000 |
Break-even deductions
₹5,51,000
The old regime only matches zero tax once deductions reach this level. It can never beat it.

Tell your employer your regime early
The new regime is the default. If the old regime suits you, declare it to your employer at the start of the year and submit proofs of 80C, 80D, HRA and home-loan interest, or TDS will be deducted at new-regime rates. Salaried people without business income can still switch regimes each year when filing the return.
