Salary tax questions
What are the salary tax slabs for 2026-27?
Annual salary up to Rs 600,000 is tax-free. Above that, rates rise in steps from 1% to 35%, and the 35% rate applies to salary above Rs 7 million a year. The full table is above.
Is there a surcharge on high salaries in 2026-27?
No. The Finance Act 2026 withdrew the surcharge on salary income. In 2025-26 a 9% surcharge applied to the tax where taxable salary was above Rs 10 million, and in 2024-25 the surcharge was 10%.
Who counts as a salaried individual for these rates?
The salaried rates apply when salary is more than 75% of your taxable income. If it is less, the rates for non-salaried individuals apply; use the business tax calculator instead.
My employer already deducts tax. Do I still need to file a return?
Your employer deducts tax from your salary each month under section 149. Filing your return keeps you on the Active Taxpayer List, which lowers many other withholding taxes, and it is the only way to claim back tax that was over-deducted.
