Namaste dosto! Aaj hum baat karenge Income Tax ke baare mein — jo har earning person ke liye samajhna bahut zaroori hai. Sabse pehle, Income Tax hota kya hai? Income Tax ek direct tax hai jo government aapse leti hai aapki yearly income par. India mein yeh tax collect karta hai Income Tax Department, jo kaam karta hai Government ke under, specifically Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) ke through. Ab sawal yeh hai — tax kyu dena padta hai? Simple! Government ko paisa chahiye hota hai desh chalane ke liye — jaise roads banana, hospitals, schools, defence, aur public services ke liye. Jo paisa hum tax ke form mein dete hain, woh desh ke development mein use hota hai. Ab baat karte hain — kaun Income Tax deta hai? Agar aapki annual income basic exemption limit se zyada hai, toh aapko tax dena padta hai. India mein tax system slab-based hai — matlab jitni zyada income, utna zyada tax percentage. Example ke liye: Agar kisi ki income kam hai, toh woh kam tax dega. Agar income zyada hai, toh higher slab mein aayega aur zyada tax pay karega. Isko progressive tax system kehte hain. Ab ek important cheez — Tax bachane ke legal tareeke bhi hote hain! Government kuch deductions aur exemptions deti hai — jaise investments in LIC, PPF, ELSS, home loan interest, etc. In sab se aap apni taxable income kam kar sakte ho. Har saal aapko apna Income Tax Return, yani ITR file karna hota hai. Isse government ko pata chalta hai ki aapne kitna kamaya aur kitna tax diya. Aakhir mein yaad rakhiye — Tax dena sirf legal duty nahi, balki ek responsible citizen hone ki nishani hai. Toh dosto, Income Tax ko samjho, sahi planning karo, aur time par ITR file karo! Dhanyavaad!
