In the previous tax system, you might have saved Rs 1.5 lakh by investing in NSC, ELSS, PPF, and EPF under section 80C of the Income Tax Act. You will owe Rs 8.5 lakh in taxes after this Rs 1.5 lakh is subtracted.

Tax on Income Exceeding Rs 5 Lakh
Furthermore, the Income Tax Act’s regulations provide that the tax on income exceeding Rs 5 lakh is Rs 12,500 (5% of Rs 2.5 lakh).
