How the calculation works

- Rs 600,001 to Rs 1,200,000: 1% of the amount above Rs 600,000.
- Example: Rs 800,000 a year means 1% of Rs 200,000, which is Rs 2,000 a year.

Should you file a return if you owe no tax?
Yes, it is worth it. Filing keeps you on the Active Taxpayers List, which lowers withholding tax on bank cash withdrawals, property and vehicles. Read the filer vs non-filer comparison and, if you are late, the late filing penalty guide.
