Your suggestions for any improvement in this guide are most welcome. Hurray! It’s Tax Saving Day!! 2 DISCLAIMER; THIS| GUIDE IS UPDATED AS ON 22 DEC, 2022 A Bajaj Capital Publication www.bajajcapital.com Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living Proper tax planning is the basic duty of every person, which should be carried out religiously. Basically, there are three steps in the tax planning exercise. You need not consult an Income Tax Practitioner or a Chartered Accountant for this matter. In fact, you can do it yourself. These three steps of tax planning are: 1. Calculate your Taxable Income for the Financial Year (from April 1 to March 31) from all sources such as salary /pension, interest etc. 2. Calculate tax payable on Annual Taxable Income using a simple tax rate table, given on the next page. 3. After you have calculated the amount of your tax liability, you have two options to choose from: a. Pay your tax (no tax planning is required) b. Minimize your tax through Prudent Tax Planning. Most people should and do choose Option ‘b’. Here, you have to compare the advantages of several tax saving schemes and depending upon your age, social liabilities, tax slab and personal preferences, decide on the right mix of investments/insurance plans, which shall reduce your tax liability to Zero or to the “Minimum” possible. You may consult your Financial Planner for distributing your savings in various tax saving schemes. The following rates are applicable for computing tax liability for the current Financial Year ending on March 31, 2023, i.e. Assessment Year 2023-24 A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com 3 Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living NEW TAX PAYMENT SYSTEM In Budget 2020, one new Tax payment system was introduced by the Government. Now there are two options, old tax payment system and new tax payment system from which the tax payers have to choose one. In the new tax system, tax rates are lower and slabs are wider but you can not avail any deductions like standard deduction (Rs. 50,000 for salaried individuals), section 80C (Rs. 1,50,000), section 80CCD (NPS) (Rs.50,000), section 80D (Medical insurance), 80TTB (Bank Interest) (Rs. 50,000 for senior citizens), interest on Housing loan etc. Individual salaried tax payers can choose either new or old tax payment system and next year they can again change the choice of old or new, if they wish to. However, if businessmen tax payers choose new tax system this year, then they can’t revert to old tax system next year. In our opinion, old tax payment system is suitable for almost 95% tax payers, as final tax liability after availing all deductions/exemptions etc will be definitely lower than the tax liability as computed under new tax system. (Please understand this better with examples on page no. 06). New tax payment system will be suitable for not more than 5% of such tax payers who are starting their career now and filing their income tax return for the first time in their life.

Examples on how to choose between old tax system and new tax system Example 01: Mr Abhishek Srivastav, aged 25 years, got a new job through campus placement. His annual package for the year ending on 31 March 2023 is Rs. 12 lakhs. He did not opt for PF and he does not have any life insurance or health insurance policy. Also he does not have any PPF account or NPS account. His tax liability under the new tax system will be only Rs. 1,15,000. (please refer table above ). Under the old tax system his tax liability would have been Rs. 1,72,500. Thus opting for new tax system is good decision for Abhishek. Example 02: Annual income of Miss Susan John is Rs. 12 Lakhs for the financial year ending on 31 March 2023. This includes Rs. 11,80,000 from salary income and Rs. 20,000 as bank interest income. Besides she has contributed Rs.1.5 lakhs in her PPF account and Rs. 50,000 in her NPS account. She is also paying home loan instalments and annual interest for the same is Rs.2 lakhs. She also has health insurance policy with annual premium of Rs. 25,000. Now she has to choose between old tax system and new tax system. Under the new tax system her taxable income will be Rs. 12,00,000 and her tax liability will be Rs. 1,15,000. (Please see table above.) Under the old tax system she will get standard deduction of Rs. 50,000+ deduction under section 80 C Rs. 1,50,000 plus deduction under section 80 CCD Rs. 50,000 plus deduction under section 80D Rs. 25,000 plus Deduction under section 80 TTA Rs. 10,000+ Rs.2 lakhs for interest on housing loan. Her net taxable income will be only Rs. 5,85,000 and tax liability on the same under the old system will be Rs. 29,500 only. Clearly the old tax system is beneficial for Miss Susan John. Filing of Income Tax Return 1.

Income from Salaries Income from House Properties Profit & Gains of Business & Profession Capital Gains Income from Other Sources Now we will discuss in detail about the taxability of these sources of income. 1. Salary or Pension Income Salaried employees are issued a certificate of tax deducted at source from salary income by their employers in Form No. 16. It also gives the Net Taxable Salary figure. All salaried individuals as well as pensioners are entitled to a flat Standard Deduction of Rs.50,000. 2. Income from House Property If the property is self occupied then the Income from House Property is treated as NIL. If any loan is taken for the purchase of the property then the amount paid towards interest upto a maximum of Rs. 2,00,000/- is deducted from taxable income. In case property is given on rent, then we have to find out the: a. b. c. d. Annual Rental Income. From this deduct - Property Tax/Municipal tax if any paid by the owner. From balance amount – deduct 30% towards repairs & maintenance. From the residual figure – deduct the amount of interest paid on loan taken for the purchase of the property. e. The resultant figure is the Income from House Property. f. Deduction under section 80EE for interest upto Rs.50,000/- 3. Profit from Business/Profession Income as arrived on the basis of Profit & Loss A/c. 4. Income from Other Sources Dividend income & interest income from various sources is included under the head “Income from other sources” Taxable Incomes: 1. Dividend income from listed /unlisted companies/Mutual funds. 2. Interest on company deposits. 3. Interest on debentures/bonds. 4. Interest on post office savings schemes like MIS, NSC, Time Deposit 8 A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living Senior Citizen Savings Scheme etc. 5. Interest on savings bank account/ fixed deposits with banks 6. Interest On Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandan Yozna. 7. Interest on private loans given to relatives, friends or any other entity. 8. Interest on government securities. 9. Any other income. Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) 1. Interest payments by companies on Fixed Deposits. Income tax is deducted @10% in case the interest exceeds Rs. 5,000 in a financial year. 2. Interest payments by Financial Institutions /Banks. Income Tax is deducted @10% in case the interest amount exceeds Rs. 10,000 in a financial year. 3. Interest payments by Post office on notified deposit scheme with post office, i.e., Senior Citizen Savings Scheme, 2004.

If the recipient does not furnish his PAN to the deductor, the tax will be deducted at the rate of 20 percent. 2) Deduction of income tax at source can be avoided by filing Form 15G in duplicate (15 H for senior citizens). However, such forms can be submitted only by individuals whose total income in the financial year is expected to be below the maximum amount not chargeable to tax. 5.Capital Gains Capital gain arises when certain assets like property (plot or a built up commercial /residential unit) or shares/mutual fund units/bonds, etc are sold on a profit. The treatment of capital gains is slightly different from other sources of income as listed above. It mainly depends upon whether the capital gain (profit on sale) is short term or long term. Capital Gains on Shares/Equity mutual funds When listed companies equity shares are sold or Equity mutual fund investments are redeemed in less than one year from the date of investment, profit or gain is treated as Short Term Capital gain, and tax is payable on the same at a flat rate of 15%. For example, Mr. Mehta invested Rs. 10 lakhs in the ABC midcap equity fund on 10th April 2022 and redeemed the same on 30th November 2022 for 12 lakhs. Mr. Mehta has earned Rs. 2 lakhs as Short Term Capital gain, and he will have to pay tax @15%, i.e., Rs. 30,000 plus cess. A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com 9 Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living Similarly, when listed companies’ equity shares are sold or Equity mutual fund investments are redeemed any day after one year from the date of investment, profit or gain is treated as Long Term Capital Gain, and tax is payable on same at a flat rate of 10% subject to rules/conditions mentioned below. If total Long term capital gain is less than or equal to Rs. 1 lakh, no tax is payable. Tax at a flat rate of 10% is payable only on an amount exceeding Rs.1 lakh. If the original date of investment is prior to 31st January 2018, then for the purpose of calculating Long Term Capital Gain, value as on 31st January 2018 will be considered as the original cost. For example, Mr. Sharma invested Rs. 5 lakhs in shares of XYZ Ltd. in the year 2010. The value of same as on 31st January 2018 was Rs. 9 lakhs. He sold these shares in April 2022 for Rs. 9,50,000 and thus earned a Long term capital gain of Rs. 50,000. However, since the gain amount is less than Rs 1 lakh, Mr. Sharma doesn’t have to pay any tax on the same. Capital Gains on Bonds/Debentures/Debt mutual funds When Debt Mutual Funds are redeemed, or bonds are sold in less than 3 years from the date of investment, profit or gain is treated as short term capital gain, and same is added in taxable income, and tax is payable on same as per the applicable slabs. However, if Debt Mutual Funds are redeemed or bonds are sold at least three years after the date of investment, profit/ gain is treated as Long Term Capital Gain, and tax is payable on same at a flat rate of 20% after taking the indexation (inflation adjustment) benefit as per chart shared below. Capital Gain on Properties, Residential house, etc. When properties like Residential house or land etc. is sold/transferred within 2 years of acquiring/buying it, profit/gain is treated as short term capital gain, and the same is added in taxable income, and tax is payable on same as per the applicable slabs. However, if a house or land etc., is sold/transferred after 2 years of buying/acquiring it, the profit/gain is treated as Long term Capital gain, and tax is payable on the same at a flat rate of 20% after taking indexation benefit. Original cost is adjusted for inflation as per the chart shared below. Tax can be saved by investing a maximum of 50 lakhs in Capital Gain Tax bonds, as explained below in the example. Section 54 EC In order to save capital gain tax, the total amount of Long -Term Capital Gain (after availing indexation benefit) has to be invested in any of the following three schemes specified under section 54EC (upto Rs. 50 lakhs only): 1. Bonds issued by Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) 2. Bonds Issued by Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) 3. Bonds Issued by Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited (IRFC) 10 A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living NOTE: The maximum Investment in capital gain tax saving bond can be Rs. 50 lakhs only (for section 54EC benefits). Exemption is available to the extent of capital gain as invested in long term specified assets. For assets other than listed shares/units of equity oriented mutual fund schemes, tax is payable in respect of long-term capital gains at a flat rate of 20% and the amount of gain has to be adjusted for inflation. This inflation adjustment is known as indexation benefit. Every year the Government of India announces inflation adjustment rate for the purpose of long-term capital gain. A detailed chart is given below LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN Cost Inflation Indexation Financial Year 2001- 02 100 2002-03 105 2003-04 109 2004-05 113 2005-06 117 2006-07 122 2007-08 129 2008-09 137 2009-10 148 2010-11 167 2011-12 184 2012-13 200 2013-14 220 2014-15 240 2015-16 254 2016-17 264 2017-18 272 2018-19 280 2019-20 289 2020-21 301 2021-22 317 2022-23 331 Indexed cost of acquisition is computed with the help of following formula: - Cost of Acquisition X (multipied by)Cost inflation index of the year of transfer/sale of capital asset (Divided by) Cost inflation index of the year of acquisition A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com 11 Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living Example 1: Mr. Kumar had invested Rs. 2,00,000 in a Bond Fund (debt-oriented Mutual fund Scheme) in June, 2016. He redeemed his investment in September, 2022 and received redemption proceeds of Rs.2,60,000. So, Capital Gain tax liability will be computed as follows Indexed cost = Rs. 2,00,000 X 331 (CII of 22-23) = Rs. 2,50,758/- 264 (CII of 16-17) The long-term capital gain is (Rs. 2,60,000 - Rs. 2,50,758) = Rs. 9,242/- on which he is required to pay capital gain tax of Rs. 1,849/- @ 20% plus cess. Example 2: Mr. Das bought a flat for Rs. 28,00,000 in August 2012. He sold this flat in September 2022 for a net consideration of Rs. 85,00,000. Income tax payable on capital gain of Rs. 57,00,000 earned by him shall be as follows: Adjustment of purchase price: Purchase Price x (Cost inflation index in the year of sale/ cost inflation index in the year of purchase) Rs. 28,00,000 x (331/200) = Rs. 46,34,000/Thus, Mr. Das has earned a Long-Term capital gain of Rs. 38,66,000/- (Rs. 85,00,000 - Rs. 46,34,000). Now, if he decides to pay tax, he has to pay 20% of Rs. 38,66,000/(i.e. Rs. 7,73,200/-) along with health & education cess. Alternatively, he can save this tax liability by investing Rs. 38,66,000/- in either of the capital gain bonds as explained while discussing section 54EC above. Important points to note: 1. Short Term Capital Loss can be set off against any capital gain, whether Short Term or Long Term. 2. However, Long Term Capital Loss can only be set off against Long-term Capital Gain. 3. Unabsorbed Short-Term Capital Loss can be carried forward for eight years. 4. Similarly, unabsorbed Long Term Capital Loss can also be carried forward for eight years and can be set off only against Long Term Capital Gain. Deductions from Taxable Income: Deduction under section 80C Under this section, a deduction of up to Rs. 1,50,000 is allowed from Taxable Income in respect of investments made in some specified schemes. 12 A Bajaj Capital Publication | www.bajajcapital.com Tax Saving Guide: Your Guide to Tax Efficient Living Specified Investment Schemes u/s 80C , u/s 80CCC and 80CCD(1) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
