Hi,

he/She will not fall under tax liability and no tax will be deducted until & unless he/she declares income from the previous employer. even after declaring his previous employer income, he will not fall under tax liability until his taxable income below 5 lakhs.

Hi Anushree,

  1. if opted for old regime, tax will be 0. Employee will not be liable under tax since next 7 months taxable income is not exceeding more than 2.5 lakhs

  2. If employee opted the new regime, employee has liable to pay 5% of the tax for 30000/-

Total Income 7 x Rs.40000 =Rs.280000
Tax bracket ( 2.5 L to 5 L)
Taxable amount - Rs.280000-Rs.250000 =Rs.30000
TDS slab 5 %
Tax payable Rs.1500
Edu Cess Rs. 60
Total Rs.1560
Average tax for 7 months Rs.223
