Income Tax on ₹10 LPA — FY 2025-26
₹10 LPA is a milestone salary — and under the new tax regime for FY 2025-26, it attracts zero income tax. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction, taxable income is ₹9.25 lakh, which qualifies for the full 87A rebate (zero tax up to ₹12L taxable income).
Under the old regime, with maximum deductions (80C ₹1.5L + 80D ₹25K + standard deduction ₹50K), taxable income drops to ~₹7.25 lakh, attracting about ₹52,500 in tax. New regime clearly wins at ₹10 LPA.
How Tax is Calculated on ₹10 LPA
Old Regime with max deductions
₹10L − ₹50K std − ₹1.5L (80C) − ₹25K (80D) = ₹7.75L taxable. Tax: 5% on ₹2.5–5L = ₹12,500 + 20% on ₹5–7.75L = ₹55,000. Total = ₹67,500 + 4% cess = ₹70,200.
