What is Income Tax Slabs ?

In India, income tax is levied on individual taxpayers on the basis of a slab system where different tax rates have been prescribed for different slabs and such tax rates keep increasing with an increase in the income slab.

Such tax slabs tend to undergo a change during every budget.

Further, since the budget 2018 has not announced any changes in income tax slabs this time, it remains the same as that of last year.

There are three categories of individual taxpayers:
1.Individuals (below the age of 60 years) which includes residents as well as non-residents
2.Resident Senior citizens (60 years and above but below 80 years of age)
3.Resident Super senior citizens (above 80 years of age)
