With this, your taxable income will now become Rs 7 lakh. Then, if you have taken a home loan, you can avail interest deduction of up to Rs 2 lakh through it. Now your taxable income will be Rs 5 lakh.
Balwant Jain said that on income up to Rs 5 lakh, the government gives a tax rebate of Rs 12,500 under section 87 (A). With this, your taxable income will come down to less than Rs 5 lakh. And, once this happens, you will not have to pay any tax. This income is eligible for full exemption under section 87A.
