Income earned during twelve months between 1st April to 31st March of an year, commonly called as Financial Year (FY), is taken into account for purposes of calculating Income Tax. Income earned in the financial year is assessed (evaluated, calculated) in the next Financial year which is called as the Assessment Year (AY). A person files his return during an Assessment Year for the income earned in the Financial Year.

For example, income earned in Financial Year (FY) 2021-22 to be filed during the Assessment year (AY) is 2022-23.

The word Income has a very broad and inclusive meaning. In case of a salaried person, all that is received from an employer in cash, kind or as a facility is considered as income. For a businessman, his net profits will constitute income. Income may also flow from investments in the form of Interest, Dividend, and Commission etc. Under the Act, all incomes earned by persons are classified under 5 income heads, such as:

1. Income from Salary: Income can be charged under this head only if there is an employer-employee relationship between the payer and payee. Salary includes basic salary or wages, any annuity, gratuity, advance of salary, leave encashment, commission, perquisites in lieu of or in addition to salary and retirement benefits. The aggregate of the above incomes, after exemptions available, is known as Gross Salary and this is charged under the head income from salary.
2. Income from House property: Any residential or commercial property that you own will be taxed. Even if your piece of real estate is not let out, it will be considered earning rental income and you will need to pay tax on it. If you have home loan then interest part of it would also be considered as negative income from House property..
3. Income from Business or Profession: Income earned through your profession or business is charged under the head ‘profits and gains of business or profession.’ The income chargeable to tax is the difference between the credits received on running the business and expenses incurred.
4. Income from capital gains: Any profit or gain arising from transfer of capital asset held as investments(such as house, jewellery, are chargeable to tax under the head capital gains. The gain can be on account or short- and long-term gains.
5. Income from other sources: Any income that does not fall under any of the four heads of income above is taxed under the head income from other sources. Example is interest income from bank deposits, winning from lottery, any sum of money exceeding Rs 50,000 received from a person (other than from relative, on marriage, under a will or inheritance).

Yes, as long as the business loss is declared part of the previous year’s tax return and the return filed before the due date of income tax filing.

Gross Total Income (GTI, in short), is the aggregate taxable income under the different heads of income such as income from salary, income from house property, income from profits or gains of business, capital gains, and income from other sources. i.e., the total income computed in accordance with the provisions of the IT Act before making any deductions under Sec 80 C to 80 U.

Marginal Relief under New tax Regime means the tax payable should not exceed the income that exceeds Rs 7 lakhs.

For Example : Mr Ram has a net taxable income of Rs 715000 for FY 2023-24. He wants to opt for New Tax Regime. In this case, he is not eligible for rebate u/s 87A as his income exceeded Rs 7 lakhs. He is required to pay a tax of 26500(excluding Edu cess) . In this case, the income exceeding Rs 7 lakhs (7,15,000-7,00,000=15000) is less than the tax payable of Rs 26500. Hence the marginal relief is applicable on his taxes payable for FY 2023-24

After applying marginal relief, his tax payable is 15000 (excluding educ.cess) which we will be a benefit to Mr Ram
