Definition of Deduction
Chapter-VI (80C to 80U) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 deals with deductions.
Deduction means the amount that will be subtracted from the gross amount.
As per Income Tax Act, deductions are the payments or investments made by
the assessee through which a specific amount or percentage is reduced from
their gross total income to arrive at total taxable income. If GTI is nil then no
deduction is allowable or the amount of deduction cannot exceed GTI i.e.
deduction is allowable only to the extent of gross total income.
These are allowed to the taxpayer only if he claims deductions for the
investments he has made in specific instruments. In this way, such an income
form part of the gross total income of the taxpayer and then the deductions are
allowed to arrive at total income. Deductions are divided into three categories:
Other deductions
Definition of Exemption
17
The exemption is derived from the word exempt which means an amount
which is not liable to something. In income tax, exemption refers to
those incomes which are not considered while calculating the total income.
Hence, such source of incomes excluded from taxable incomes or not
chargeable to tax.
In the list of exempted incomes, certain incomes are completely exempt from
tax like agricultural income. But certain incomes are partly exempt from tax,
in which exemption is given up to the specified limit. The exceeding part of
partly exempted income will be subject to tax and considered while computing
the gross total income.
