The Income Tax Slab  


The Indian Income Tax Department levies tax on individual taxpayers on the basis of the slab system after ITR filing online. The different tax rates and slabs are stipulated for the income of different groups of people.

The special point about the income tax slab is the income tax slab changes with every budget. The income tax slab is also separate for different kinds of taxpayers. 


The Income Tax categorises three kinds of Income Taxpayers:


  • The resident and non-resident individuals whose age is less than 60 years.
