Monthly Tax Deduction Calculation for an Income of 11 LPA with 80C Investment

Dear reader, as an SEO specialist at Google, I will walk you through the complexities of tax deduction calculations when you have a CTC (Cost to Company) of 11 LPA and have made an investment in the ELSS (Equity-Linked Savings Scheme) fund under the 80C provisions. This comprehensive guide will help you understand your financial obligations and their implications.

Understanding CTC and Its Components

CTC (Cost to Company) is a crucial figure that encompasses all the salary and benefits payable by the employer to an employee. For an income of 11 LPA, we can categorize the components as follows:

Component Amount (INR) Basic Salary 2,549 MHA / HRA 2,715 Transport allowance 500 Medical 500 LTA 4,400 Venture fund (0% variable component) 0 Total CTC 11,000

Tax Implications with 80C Investment

In the current tax scenario, if you have an investment of Rs. 1 Lakh in the ELSS fund, this falls under the 80C category of deductions. The 80C provisions allow you to claim a deduction from your taxable income for investments made in specific financial instruments, including ELSS. This helps in reducing your tax liability.

Existing Old Tax Regime Consideration

Since you opted for the existing old tax regime, you'll be subject to the income tax laws as prevalent in your financial year. The tax rates for an income of 11 LPA would be calculated as follows:

Marginal Tax Rates for 2022-2023 (Old Tax Regime)

Tax Slab Income Limit (INR) Rate (%) Deductible Amount (INR) 0% up to 2,50,000 2,50,000 0% 0 5% from 2,50,001 to 5,00,000 5,00,000 5% 2,52,500 20% from 5,00,001 to 1,0,00,000 1,0,00,000 20% 5,03,750 30% above 1,0,00,001 (for 11,00,000) 11,00,000 30% 7,10,000

Considering your investment of Rs. 1 Lakh in ELSS through 80C, you can claim a deduction under this scheme. This brings your taxable income down from 11 LPA to 10 LPA (11,00,000 - 1,00,000 10,00,000).

Monthly Tax Calculation

With your adjusted taxable income of 10 LPA, let's break down the monthly tax calculations:

Tax Slab Income Limit (INR) Rate (%) Deductible Amount (INR) Monthly Tax (INR) 0% up to 2,50,000 2,50,000 0% 0 0 5% from 2,50,001 to 5,00,000 5,00,000 5% 2,52,500 1,250 20% from 5,00,001 to 1,0,00,000 1,0,00,000 20% 5,03,750 5,250 30% above 1,0,00,001 to 10,00,000 10,00,000 30% 7,10,000 6,750

Adding up the monthly taxes from the above table, we get a total monthly tax of approximately Rs. 7,651/-. It's important to note that the actual tax might vary slightly due to rounding and other factors.

Conclusion

In summary, understanding your tax deductions and the impact of your 80C investments can significantly reduce your tax burden. Whether your CTC is 11 LPA or more, taking advantage of the ELSS fund and other investment schemes under 80C provisions can be highly beneficial for optimizing your tax savings.
