  1. I am working in a pvt. firm. My Salary is Consolidated Salary, and no tax, pf etc deducted from my salary. Kindly give me the details of Rebates / deductions, which can be availed out of consolidated salary (like TA, Med. Allowance, etc). further is possible kindly define the “consolidated salary”. Thank You

    1. IF you do not know elements of consolidated salary, you cant claim any income tax deduction. However, basic exemption limit for income tax is available to you.

  2. Hello Tarannum
    there is an error in your post,
    in case of domestic companies if income is above Rs. 10 Crore
    Tax rate will be 34.608% not 34.068.
    Please correct it
