Income Tax Rules-Income included under the Head Salaries

Income Tax Rules-Income Included under the Head Salaries. It is important to know  what is the income that is chargeable under the head Salaries while computation of Income Tax. We will discuss the Definition of Salary, Perquisite and Profit in Lieu of Salary as per Section 17.

Rule.5.1 Income Chargeable under the Head  "SALARIES"

(1) The following income shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head "Salaries" :
  • (a) any salary due from an employer or a former employer to an assessee in the previous year, whether paid or not;
  • (b) any salary paid or allowed to him in the previous year by or on behalf of an employer or a former employer though not due or before it became due to him.
  • (c) any arrears of salary paid or allowed to him in the previous year by or on behalf of an employer or a former employer, if not charged to income-tax for any earlier previous year.
(2) For the removal of doubts, it is clarified that where any salary paid in advance is included in the total income of any person for any previous year it shall not be included again in the total income of the person when the salary becomes due. Any salary, bonus, commission or remuneration, by whatever name called, due to, or received by, a partner of a firm from the firm shall not be regarded as "Salary".

Rule.5.2 Definition of Salary, Perquisite and Profit in Lieu of Salary (Section 17)

5.2.1 "Salary" includes:-

i. wages, fees, commissions, perquisites, profits in lieu of, or, in addition to salary, advance of salary, annuity or pension, gratuity, payments in respect of encashment of leave etc.
ii. the portion of the annual accretion to the balance at the credit of the employee participating in a recognized provident fund as consists of {Rule 6 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule of the Act}:
  • a) contributions made by the employer to the account of the employee in a recognized provident fund in excess of 12% of the salary of the employee,
  • b) interest credited on the balance to the credit of the employee in so far as it is allowed at a rate exceeding such rate as may be fixed by Central Government. [w.e.f. 01-09-2010 rate is fixed at 9.5% - Notification No SO 1046(E) dated 13-05-2011]
  • iii. the contribution made by the Central Government or any other employer to the account of the employee under the New Pension Scheme as notified vide Notification F.N. 5/7/2003- ECB&PR dated 22.12.2003 (enclosed as Annexure VII) referred to in section 80CCD (para 5.5.3 of this Circular).
It may be noted that, since salary includes pension, tax at source would have to be deducted from pension also, unless otherwise so required. However, no tax is required to be deducted from the commuted portion of pension to the extent exempt under section 10 (10A).
Family Pension is chargeable to tax under head “Income from other sources” and not under the head “Salaries”. Therefore, provisions of section 192 of the Act are not applicable.
Hence no TDS is required to be made on family pension.
5.2.2 Perquisite includes:
A perquisite is an incidental profit, privilege, or fringe benefit derived from one's employment or office. In this sense, it is almost universally shortened to perk. The word also means anything claimed or held as an exclusive right. Perquisite usually means ‘an extra allowance or privilege’: For Instance: "he had all the perquisites of a movie star, including a stand-in"

I. The value of rent free accommodation provided to the employee by his employer;
II. The value of any concession in the matter of rent in respect of any accommodation provided to the employee by his employer;
III. The value of any benefit or amenity granted or provided free of cost or at concessional rate in any of the following cases:
  • i) By a company to an employee who is a director of such company;
  • ii) By a company to an employee who has a substantial interest in the company;
  • iii) By an employer (including a company)to an employee, who is not covered by (i) or (ii) above and whose income under the head “Salaries” (whether due from or paid or allowed by one or more employers), exclusive of the value of all benefits and amenities not provided by way of monetary payment, exceeds Rs.50,000/-.
[What constitutes concession in the matter of rent have been prescribed in Explanation 1 to 4 below 17(2)(ii) of the Act]
IV. Any sum paid by the employer in respect of any obligation which would otherwise have been payable by the assessee.
V.  Any sum payable by the employer, whether directly or through a fund, other than a recognized provident fund or an approved superannuation fund or other specified funds u/s 17, to effect an assurance on the life of an assessee or to effect a contract for an annuity.
VI. The value of any specified security or sweat equity shares allotted or transferred, directly or indirectly, by the employer, or former employer, free of cost or at concessional rate to the employee and for this purpose,.
  • (a) “specified security” means the securities as defined in section 2(h) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 and, where employees’ stock option has been granted under any plan or scheme therefor, includes the securities offered under such plan or scheme;
  • (b) “sweat equity shares” means equity shares issued by a company to its employees or directors at a discount or for consideration other than cash for providing know-how or making available rights in the nature of intellectual property rights or value additions, by whatever name called;
  • (c) the value of any specified security or sweat equity shares shall be the fair market value of the specified security or sweat equity shares, as the case may be, on the date on which the option is exercised by the assessee as reduced by the amount actually paid by, or recovered from the assessee in respect of such security or shares;
  • (d) “fair market value” means the value determined in accordance with the method as may be prescribed;
  • (e) “option” means a right but not an obligation granted to an employee to apply for the specified security or sweat equity shares at a predetermined price;

VIII. The value of any other fringe benefit or amenity as prescribed (in Rule 3).

Some More Useful references in terms of Salary
Interest free or concessional loans [Rule 3(7)(i)]: 
            It is common practice, particularly in financial institutions, to provide interest free or concessional loans to employees or any member of his household. The value of perquisite arising from such loans would be the excess of interest payable at prescribed interest rate over interest, if any, actually paid by the employee or any member of his household. The prescribed interest rate would now be the rate charged per annum by the State Bank of India as on the 1st day of the relevant financial year in respect of loans of same type and for the same purpose advanced by it to the general public. Perquisite value would be calculated on the basis of the maximum outstanding monthly balance method. For valuing perquisites under this rule, any other method of calculation and adjustment otherwise adopted by the employer shall not be relevant. However, small loans up to Rs. 20,000/- in the aggregate are exempt.

Loans for medical treatment of diseases specified in Rule 3A are also exempt, provided the amount of loan for medical reimbursement is not reimbursed under any medical insurance scheme. Where any medical insurance reimbursement is received, the perquisite value at the prescribed rate shall be charged from the date of reimbursement on the amount reimbursed, but not repaid against the outstanding loan taken specifically for this purpose.


Exemptions:    It is pertinent to mention that benefits specifically exempt u/s 10(13A) (Deals with HRA) , 10(5) (This Section deals with LTC) , 10(14) (Deals with Transfer Grant Allowance), 17 (Deals with Medical Reimbursement) etc.of the Act would continue to be exempt. These include benefits like house rent allowance,leave travel concession, travel on tour and transfer, daily allowance to meet tour expenses asprescribed, medical facilities subject to conditions.
5.2.3 'Profits in lieu of salary' shall include

1.         I. the amount of any compensation due to or received by an assessee from his employer or former employer at or in connection with the termination of his employment or the modification of the terms and conditions relating thereto;
2.         II. any payment (other than any payment referred to in clauses (10), (10A), (10B), (11), (12) (13) or (13A) of section 10 due to or received by an assessee from an employer or a former employer or from a provident or other fund, to the extent to which it does not consist of contributions by the assessee or interest on such contributions or any sum received under a Keyman insurance policy including the sum allocated by way of bonus on such policy.
3.         "Keyman insurance policy" shall have the same meaning as assigned to it in section 10(10D);

Calculating Rs.2000 Tax Rebate Sec 87A of Income Tax Act-                                               Clarifications                                                               

Calculating Rs.2000 Tax Rebate Sec 87A of Income Tax Act - Clarifications. As per the Income Tax Financial Act 2013-14,the new Section 87A is introduced w.e.f. 1.4.2014. It is a big relief as the Rebate of Rs.2000 is announced for the Individuals having Income between Rs.2,00,000  Rs.5,00,000. Now there are lot of doubts on how to avail the Rebate from Income Tax. Some are asking that whether the Basic Income Limit for Individuals has raised to Rs.2,20,000 and basic exemption limit is raised ?.  Let us discuss some important points on availing rebate with reference to the Income Tax Act 2013-14 and Finance Minister's Financial Budget speech.

Calculating Rs.2000 Tax Rebate under Sec 87A of Income Tax Financial Act

The Rebate Rs.2000 under Sec 87A is inserted  after the Sec 87 of the Income Tax Finance Act 2013 and is as follows:
87A. [Omitted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1967, w.e.f. 1-4-1968.]
The following section 87A shall be inserted after section 87 by the Finance Act, 2013, w.e.f. 1-4-2014 :
Rebate of income-tax in case of certain individuals.
87A. An assessee, being an individual resident in India, whose total income does not exceed five hundred thousand rupees, shall be entitled to a deduction, from the amount of income-tax (as computed before allowing the deductions under this Chapter) on his total income with which he is chargeable for any assessment year, of an amount equal to hundred per cent of such income-tax or an amount of two thousand rupees, whichever is less.
Clarifications on Sec 87A:

1.         This Sec 87A Rebate of Rs.2000 is applicable to Individuals Indian Male and Female Residents only.
2.         Basic Exemption Limit has not been increased. (Rs. 2 Lakh for Below 60 Years More Detailed particulars Click Here)
3.         This Relief is applicable to all Individuals only if the Total Income is less than Rs.5,00,000
4.         This Section 87A is w.e.f 1.4.2014 means, it is applicable from Assessment Year 2014-15, means for those who are filling their Income Tax Returns for the Financial Year 2013-14.
5.         Tax Rebate is also applicable to Senior Citizens upto Rs. 5,00,000 Income.
6.         First Calculate the Total Taxable Income after making all Possible and eligible Deductions from your Income. ( If the Total Taxable Income is Less than Rs.5,00,000 then you are to eligible claim a Rebate of  Rs.2000).
7.         From the previous step, we get  The Income liable to Tax at Normal Rates.
8.         From the Income Liable to Tax, Calculate the Income Tax.
9.         Now Deduct Max of Rs.2000 as Rebate.
10.      Means It is deductible from income-tax before calculating education cess. The amount of rebate is 100 per cent of income-tax or Rs. 2,000, whichever is less.
11.      After deducting the Rebate, pay the tax after calculating the education cess,  That's it.
Model Calculation of Rs.2000 Rebate in Income Tax Act 2013 as per Section 87A

1.         Let us assume that Your Gross Income is Rs.400000
2.         All Deductions and Exemptions is Rs.100000 and Your Total Income after applying all eligible deductions is Rs.3,00,000.
3.         Hence, Now the Net Taxable Income will become Rs.3,00,000.
4.         Now, 10% Tax on Rs.1,00,000 (Rs.3,00,000 - Rs.2,00,000) will be Rs.10,000.
5.         As the Taxable Income is Less than Rs.5,00,000, apply Tax Rebate u/s 87A upto a Max of Rs.2,000.

Income Tax Section 10(13A)-Exemption of House Rent Allowance (HRA 

Income Tax Section 10(13A) Exemption of House Rent Allowance (HRA) . While calculating Income Tax, Most of us have some doubts on calculation of HRA (House Rent Allowance). Income Tax Dept has mentioned so many times on wrong calculation of HRA by employees while submitting the returns. Hence let us discuss the Calculation of House Rent Allowance Exemption in Income Tax as per Income Tax Act 1961, Section 10(13A), Read with Rule 2A of Income Tax Rules 1962.

HRA Exemption Rule as per Income Tax Act Section 10(13A)

The Words mentioned in the Income Tax Act 2013-14 as follows:
       Under section 10(13A) of the Act, any special allowance specifically granted to an assessee by his employer to meet expenditure incurred on payment of rent (by whatever name called) in respect of residential accommodation occupied by the assessee is exempt from Income-tax to the extent as may be prescribed, having regard to the area or place in which such accommodation is situated and other relevant considerations. According to Rule 2A of the Rules, the quantum of exemption allowable on account of grant of special allowance to meet expenditure on payment of rent shall be the least of the following:

1.         (a) The actual amount of such allowance received by the assessee in respect of the relevant period i. e. the period during which the accommodation was occupied by the assesse during the financial year; or
2.         (b) The actual expenditure incurred in payment of rent in excess of 1/10 of the salary due for the relevant period; or
3.         (i) Where such accommodation is situated in Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi or Madras, 50% of the salary due to the employee for the relevant period; or (ii) Where such accommodation is situated in any other places, 40% of the salary due to the employee for the relevant period,
For this purpose, "Salary" includes dearness allowance, if the terms of employment so provide, but excludes all other allowances and perquisites.
      It has to be noted that only the expenditure actually incurred on payment of rent in respect of residential accommodation occupied by the assessee subject to the limits laid down in Rule 2A, qualifies for exemption from income-tax. Thus, house rent allowance granted to an employee who is residing in a house/flat owned by him is not exempt from income-tax.
      The disbursing authorities should satisfy themselves in this regard by insisting on production of evidence of actual payment of rent before excluding the House Rent Allowance or any portion thereof from the total income of the employee.
       Though incurring actual expenditure on payment of rent is a pre-requisite for claiming deduction under section 10(13A), it has been decided as an administrative measure that salaried employees drawing house rent allowance upto Rs.3000/- per month will be exempted from production of rent receipt. It may, however, be noted that this concession is only for the purpose of tax-deduction at source, and, in the regular assessment of the employee, the Assessing Officer will be free to make such enquiry as he deems fit for the purpose of satisfying himself that the employee has incurred actual expenditure on payment of rent.
       Further if annual rent paid by the employee exceeds Rs 1,00,000 per annum, it is mandatory for the employee to report PAN of the landlord to the employer. In case the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address of the landlord should be filed by the employee.

Clarification by Addl Commissioner of IT, Hyd, as per CIT-14/TDS-State Govt/2012-13 Dated 14.2.13
  • HRA granted to an employee who is residing in his own house/flat owned by self is not exempt from income-tax. 
  • Salaried employees paying rent upto Rs.3000 per month will be exempted from production of rent receipt.

Calculation of HRA Exemption:

From the above Rules it is clear that For Calculation of HRA Exemption we should take the LEAST of the following Three:
1.Actual Amount of HRA Received
2.Actual Rent Paid Minus (-) 10% of Basic Salary (Here Basic Salary means Basic Pay + DA)
3.40% of Basic Salary (50% of Basic Salary in Metro Cities).
The Least of the above three will be taken House Rent Allowance Exemption.

Illustrative calculation of House Rent Allowance U/s 10 (13A)in respect of residential accommodation situated in Delhi in case of an employee below the age of 60 years (With valid PAN furnished to employer).

Particulars as follows:
1 Salary =2,50,000
2 Dearness Allowance =1,00,000
3 House Rent Allowance =1,40,000
4 House rent paid =1,44,000

Now Calculation of HRA Exemption as follows:
Salary + Dearness Allowance + House Rent Allowance= (2,50,000+1,00,000+1,40,000) = 4,90,000
Total Salary Income = 4,90,000

Less: House Rent allowance exempt U/s 10(13A):
Least of:
  • (a). Actual amount of HRA received= 1,40,000
  • (b). Actual Rent paid minus 10% of salary (including D.A) = (1,44,000-35,000) = 1,09,000
  • (c). 50% of Salary (Basic+ DA) = 1,75,000.
Least of the above Three is 1,09,000 Hence it will be taken for HRA Exemption
Gross Total Income = 4,90,000-1,09,000 =  3,81,000.
