If your salary is 12 lakhs, then you come under 30 percent tax. Actually, there is a liability of 30 percent on the annual income of more than Rs 10 lakh.
This is the complete math

Usually, on a salary of 12 lakhs, two lakh rupees are kept in Part-B or Part-2. In this way your taxable income has come down to Rs 10 lakh.
2. After this, deduct Rs 50,000 given by the Ministry of Finance as standard deduction. After deducting these, your taxable income comes down to Rs 9.50 lakh.
3. Under Section 80C of Income Tax, you can claim savings of up to Rs 1.5 lakh. In this, you can claim tuition fee, LIC (LIC), PPF (PPF), mutual fund (ELSS), EPF (EPF) or home loan principal etc. Now your taxable income has come down to Rs.8 lakh.
4. Under section 24B of income tax, you get a deduction of two lakh rupees on home loan interest. In this way, your taxable income has come down to Rs.6 lakh here.
5. After this you will have to invest 50 thousand rupees in National Pension System (NPS) under 80CCD (1B) to make the taxable income zero (0). Here the taxable salary has come down to Rs 5.5 lakh per annum.
6. Under Section 80D of Income Tax, you can claim premium for health insurance for children, wife and parents. A premium of up to Rs 25,000 can be claimed for the child and wife. If your parents are senior citizens, you can claim Rs 50,000 as premium. After deducting these two, your taxable income comes down to Rs 4.75 lakh.
Let us tell you that on the income of Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4.75 lakh, a tax of Rs 11250 is made at the rate of 5 percent. But there is a tax exemption of up to Rs 12,500 from the Ministry of Finance. In this way your tax liability becomes zero.
