What is Partial Integration
Although Agricultural Income is exempt from tax, if a person has both Agricultural income and non agricltural income, he has to pay more tax on Non Agricultutal Income because of concept of Partial Integration
When is Partial integration Applicable
For those Assesses who enjoy benefit of slab rate and having
Agricultural Income > 5000 ,
and
Non Agricultural Income > 250000(i.e., non taxable limit)
the tax is computed through a special method called partial integration as explained below
Note :
- Partial Integration is done in order to deny the benefit of slab rate.
- It is done only in cases of those assessees who get the benefit of slab rate like Individual/HUF/AOP/BOI and that too only if Agricultural Income >5000 and Non Agricultural Income > non taxable slab rate
- No Partial integration in case of other assessees like Companies/ Partnership firm
