In his Budget 2017 speech, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley proposed to reduce the existing rate of taxation of those with income between Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh from 10 per cent to 5 per cent.

According to the new figure, a person with a taxable income (after deductions such as Section 80C etc) of Rs 3.5 lakh will pay a tax of Rs 2575 as against Rs 5150, which was paid earlier. Also, persons with taxable income of over Rs 5 lakh to Rs 50 lakh will have to pay Rs 12875, which also included the cess saved.

However, those who are earning over Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore will be paying a flat surcharge of 10 per cent on the total tax payable by them. For example, if a person is earning Rs 60 lakh annually he/she has to pay Rs 1,45,204 additional tax due to the surcharge.

Those who have an income of over Rs 1 crore would continue to pay the surcharge of 15 per cent but would get the meager benefit of saving Rs 12,875 (including saving of chess but excluding the saving on surcharge). For example, if a person has a gross income of Rs 1.2 crore will pay Rs 29,65,706 as taxes including surcharge and cess against Rs 39,80,512, which was payable earlier.
