| What it applies to | As a filer | As a non-filer | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax withheld from this payment | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 |
| On twelve payments of the same size | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 |
This is an estimate based on the published salaried slab rates for the tax year selected. It is not tax advice. Your actual liability depends on allowances, tax credits, other sources of income and tax already withheld from you.
Worth knowing
- Most of these are adjustable, meaning a filer sets them against the tax actually owed and reclaims the excess. Dividends and prize winnings are final and cannot be reclaimed.
- The person paying you is the one legally responsible for deducting and depositing it. Chase them for the certificate — without it your refund claim has nothing to stand on.

Want the real number, not an estimate?
A calculator works from the figures you give it. Your actual position accounts for allowances, credits, other income and every rupee already withheld from you — which is frequently more than the tax you owe.
