HEADS OF INCOME (Sec 14)

(A) Introduction
After determining the scope of income i.e. what is to be included and excluded, the next step is to classify the income under
different heads. This is necessary because the rules for computing income under each head are different
(B) Provision:
Section 14 of the income tax Act states that “ all incomes shall, for the purposes of charge of income tax and computation of
total income, be classified under the following heads of income”
I Salaries
II Income from House Properties
III Profit & Gains of Business or Profession
IV Capital Gains
V Income From Other Sources
(C) Importance of Different Heads

It is said that “ Section 14 provides the basis of charge on total income, Section 5 defines its scope, Section 14 classifies the
total income under different heads and Section 15 to 59 quantify the amount of total income” thus section 15 to 59 states the
specific rules of computation under each head so as to determine the amount of income under each head
(D) Heads are Mutually Exclusive

It should be noted that the heads of income are mutually exclusive. Where an item of income falls under one head, it has to be
charged under that head and not other, for e.g. if the income is taxable as income from house property, its has to be taxed
under that head only, and cannot be taxed as Say Income from other sources
(E) Heads are Different But Tax is One i.e. Income Tax
The different heads of income do not make different kinds of taxes. The tax is always one, but the income may arise from
different sources to which different rules of computation are applied. Section 14 classifies the income under different heads
only for providing appropriate rules of computation
(F) Gross Total Income = Total Income From All Sources Computed Under Different Heads
The classification of income under different heads is with reference to the” source” of Income. Income generally arises from
several “sources” such as employment, house property, investments, business and so on
For the same head of income, there can be more than one source of income for e.g. In Income from House property there are
two sources i.e. Income from SOP and Income from LOP.
Income from each source is computed as per the rules of computation provided for the relevant head
Finally Income under all the five heads will be added together and such income is called the Gross Total Income of the
assessee during that previous year
The amount of such disallowable expenses is determined on the basis of the method to be prescribed by the CBDT (central
board of Direct Taxes)

HEADS OF INCOME
I. INCOME FROM SALARY
(A) Introduction:
Salary means any payment made at regular intervals for services rendered. If any person renders personal services as
per any contract of employment, the remuneration received by him is known as Salary
Section 15,16 and 17 of Income tax Act, 1961 deals with computation of income under the head salaries
(B) Section 15 Incomes taxable under the head Salaries

Following income shall be chargeable to income tax under the head salaries
1) Due Basis:
Any salary due from an employer or a former employer to an assessee in the previous year whether paid or not
2) Receipt Basis
Any salary paid or allowed to him in the previous year by or on behalf of an employer or a former employer.
Whether due or not
3) Arrears
Any arrears of salary paid or allowed to him in the previous year by or on behalf of an employer or a former
employer if not charged to income tax in an earlier previous year
4) Important Notes regarding Salaries
1) Advance salary
If advance salary is paid, it is taxed on receipt basis and it will not be taxed on accrual basis
2) Relationship of employer and employee
There Must be relationship of employer and employee between the payer and the payee. If the relationship of
employer and employee doesn’t exist between the payer and the payee, amount received by the payee
cannot be treated as salary. Thus for example
i) Examiner ship fees received by a college professor from his college is salary. However the examiner
ship fees received by the same professor from the university is not salary because university is not the
employer. The main point is that what is not received from employer cannot be termed as salary
3) Salary from more than one source
If an individual receives salary from more than one employer during the same previous year, salary from each
source is taxable under the head salaries. For e.g. if a clerk works with two employers on parttime basis, salary
from both the employers will be charged to tax under the head salaries
4) No Distinction Between Salary and wages
Ordinarily, wages are remuneration paid for manual work and salary is remuneration paid for white collar jobs
(non manual work) However income tax act makes no distinction between salary and wages. Both are taxable
under the head Salaries
5) Taxability
Salary is chargeable to tax either on due or receipt basis whichever is earlier. However there should not be
double taxation of the same salary
6) Nature of Employer
The Employer may be government, a local authority, a company, a firm or an individual etc.
Moreover, every remuneration received during the year is taxable irrespective of the fact whether it is
received from a former, present or prospective employer

7) Remuneration of a Partner
Any Salary, Bonus, commission or remuneration, due to or received by a partner of a firm from the firm is not
regarded as salaries under this section. The same is to be taxed as Profit and Gains of Business or Profession
8) Voluntary Payments
Salary, perquisites or allowances may be given as a gift to an employee, yet would be taxable. The Act does
not make any difference between gratuitous payment and contractual payment
9) Salary, Income must be real and not fictitious
Amount taxable under the head salaries should be real salary and not fictitious salary
10) Salary Paid Tax Free
If Salary is paid tax free by the employer, the employee has to include in his taxable income not only salary
received but also amount of tax paid by the employer. It does not make any difference whether tax is paid
under terms of contract by the employer or voluntarily
11) Grossing up of Salary
Whenever the amount of net salary is given, then we have to add back all the deductions made from the
salary by the employer on various accounts like contribution to provident funds, income tax deducted at
source, profession tax, installment for repayment of loan so as to arrive at gross salary income. This is because
income tax is levied on gross salary income. This process of ascertaining gross salary income from net salary is
called as Grossing up of Salary
(C) DEDUCTION FROM SALARY INCOME U/S 16

Section 16 lays down the following deductions which are allowable while computing the income under the head
Salaries
i) Standard Deduction u/s 16(i) (omitted by financial Act 2005 w.e.f. 1.4.2006)
ii) Entertainment allowance u/s 16(ii)
iii) Professional Tax u/s 16(ii)

i) 1/5th of Basic Salary
ii) Rs 5,000
iii) Amount of entertainment allowance actually received
b) Non Govt Employee

A Non Government employee is not entitled to any deduction from entertainment allowance
c) Basic Salary
Basic Salary above would include Dearness Allowance (it it form part of Salary) but excludes bonus,
allowances, benefits and perquisites. However if remuneration is by way commission the same has to be taken
into account

d) Irrespective of Actual Expenses
The Deduction is allowed for the entertainment allowance as such irrespective of the actual amount spent on
entertainment by the employees
ii) Professional Tax or Tax on Employment ( Section 16(iii))

Professional Tax or tax on employment levied by a state under the article 276 of the constitution is allowed as
deduction
The Following two point should be noted in this regard-
a) Deduction is available only in the year in which professional tax is paid
b) If the professional tax is paid by the employer on behalf of employee it is first included in the salary of the
employee as a perquisites (since it is an obligation of the employee discharged by the employer, it is taxable
whether the employee is the specified employee or not) and then the same amount is allowed as deduction
on account of professional tax from gross salary
