    Sir ,
    I am Vijay working in Andaman as a Govt.servant I am still in confuse if Rs.1600 is exempt per month in Income tax for the Grade Pay bearing Rs.5400 and above if so what is the exempt in IT for below grading the Grade Pay for the financial year 2015-16 Please clarify.

    for the example no 3
    Income from Other Sources 23,000
    i) Interest Income on Savings Account Rs 8,000

    ii) Interest Income on Savings Account Rs 15,000
    it should be income from FD as only 8000 was adjusted.

    Total deduction available Rs 1,58,000/- 1,58,000
    6 Total Income 4,05,000
    7Income Tax thereon/payable (after rebate u/s 87A)
    15,800
    ( again it should be 15,500 less 2000 it should be 13500
    8 Add:
    (i). Education Cess @2% 276
    (ii). Secondary and Higher Education Cess @1% 138
    9 Total Income Tax payable 14,214
    10
    Rounded off to 14,214 ( Rs 13964)
