* A tax rebate of Rs 2,000 from tax calculated will be available for people
having an annual income upto Rs 5 lakh. However, this benefit of
Rs2,000 tax credit will not be available if you cross the income range of Rs 5
lakh. Thus we can say that tax payable in 10% slab will be maximum
Rs23,000 (taking into account Rs 2000 tax credit), but for people who fall in
income range of Rs5 lakh and above, the tax will be Rs25,000 + 20% tax on income
above Rs 5 lakh;
The education cess to continue at 3 percent.

The Surcharge @ 12%
for the FY 2015-16 or AS 2016-17 will be payable if the income is above Rs 1
crores).
For the FY 2014-15 it was 10% .
