Since there has been a tremendous increase in the numbers of income tax return filers in very recent years, the Central Government has embraced this act of taxpayers , and as a result, in the Finance Bill 2019 introduced or rather I would say enhanced the existing income tax rebate u/s 87A of the I.T Act up to 12500 from the F. Y 2019-20. On the other hand, this decision of the Government has made the middle-class people very much happier as this would leave them richer by Rs 12500 annually.
The Finance bill 2019 may be read to the extent of rebate clause only as follows:–
Clause 8 of the Bill seeks to amend section 87A of the Income-tax Act to provide relief to the individual taxpayers by increasing the maximum amount of tax rebate to twelve thousand five hundred rupees from the existing two thousand five hundred rupees. The tax rebate shall now be admissible to taxpayers having total income up to five hundred thousand rupees, instead of existing three hundred fifty thousand rupees.
What is a Tax Rebate?
Before, going in to detail on should know what a tax rebate is all about. Rebate means acknowledging your liability to pay tax but allowing you relief or deduction so that you don’t need to pay your tax liability on the fulfillment of certain conditions. This means the Government is granting you a relief to pay tax up to a certain limit on attaining certain conditions.
So, a tax rebate is basically a refund of tax which an individual can claim upfront from his income tax liability. There is a tax liability for you but you are not supposed to pay that as per the rebate u/s 87A. However, this tax rebate applies only to the small taxpayers.
