"I pay taxes, so why do I need to know the 'Heads of Income'?"

Here’s the truth: The Income Tax Department doesn’t treat all money equally. How your income is classified completely changes your tax slabs, the deductions you can claim, and the exemptions you’re eligible for.

Mistakenly categorizing your income can lead to unwanted notices or missing out on legal tax savings.

To keep it simple, the law breaks down your earnings into 5 clear categories (as shown in the guide below) 👇

1️⃣ Salary – For the 9-to-5 corporate hustle.
2️⃣ House Property – For the landlords and real estate investors.
3️⃣ PGBP – For the entrepreneurs, startups, and freelancers.
4️⃣ Capital Gains – For the stock market and property investors.
5️⃣ Other Sources – For your dividends, FD interest, and residual income.
