The payable amount depends on the income tax slab set by the Income Tax Department. For FY23-24, individuals with an income of up to Rs. 3 lakhs per annum are exempt from income tax.2. Capital Gains TaxThis tax is levied on profits from the sale of a \u2018capital asset\u2019 in the year of the sale. Capital assets can include residential property, land, vehicles, machinery, precious metals, etc.These capital gains can be Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) if you sell a capital asset after holding it for less than one year or Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) after holding it for over a year.3.
