About Income Tax on ₹7 Lakh Salary

On a ₹7 lakh salary the new regime tax is nil. The ₹75,000 standard deduction brings the taxable income to ₹6.25 lakh; the slab tax of ₹11,250 (5% on the part above ₹4 lakh) is cancelled in full by the section 87A rebate, which covers taxable income up to ₹12 lakh.

In the old regime the same salary is taxed ₹44,200 including cess when you claim nothing beyond the ₹50,000 standard deduction. With ₹1.5 lakh of 80C investments the taxable income falls to ₹5 lakh and the old regime is nil as well, so both can reach zero; the new regime gets there without any investments.
