Basics of Income Tax in India

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Income tax in India follows a progressive slab system, where higher income levels incur higher tax rates. Salaried individuals file returns using Form 16, which details income and TDS (Tax Deducted at Source). Deductions under Section 80C (e.g., PPF, LIC premiums) lower taxable income. Students stepping into their first job or freelancing gigs should grasp tax obligations early, ensuring timely compliance and leveraging available deductions to optimize take-home pay.
