When These Tax Numbers May Not Apply to You

All calculations on this page assume a resident individual with salary as the only income source in FY 2025-26. Four common situations produce a different tax outcome.

Capital gains income: Short-term equity gains (Section 111A) are taxed at 20% and long-term equity gains above Rs 1.25 lakh (Section 112A) at 12.5%. Virtual digital asset gains are taxed at a flat 30%. None of these are covered by the Section 87A rebate, even if salary taxable income stays below Rs 12 lakh.

NRI status: Section 87A is available only to resident individuals under the Income Tax Act 1961. Non-resident Indians pay tax on India-sourced salary at slab rates without access to this rebate, and employer TDS is calculated under different provisions.

Perquisites and ESOPs: Employer-provided perquisites valued under Rule 3 (car, accommodation, meal vouchers) and ESOPs taxed at vesting add to your gross salary. If these push taxable income above Rs 12 lakh, the Section 87A ceiling is breached and the rebate no longer covers the full liability.

Other income sources: Rental income, savings interest above Rs 10,000, freelance earnings, and business profits add to salary income before the tax calculation. Even a small additional income above the Rs 12 lakh rebate ceiling results in a non-zero tax liability.
