Check the surcharge boundary
Surcharge is based on taxable income, not gross salary. At this exact salary both examples remain below ₹50 lakh taxable income, so the result has no surcharge.
Bonus, interest, rent or other income may cross the threshold. Recalculate with total taxable income rather than copying this salary-only result.
Remember that tax saving strategies should always be designed carefully in consultation with a qualified tax advisor.
Check the official rules
Tax rules depend on the financial year and the facts of your return. Verify the current provisions on the Income Tax Department portal before filing.
