(a) Ramesh earns an annual salary of Rs. 1,40,000/-. He contributes Rs. 3,000/- per month
to his provident fund and pays an annual premium of Rs. I6,000/- towards his Life
Insurance Policy. Calculate the Income Tax he has to pay in the last month of the year, if
his earlier income tax deductions for the first 11 months were of Rs. 250/- per month.
Assume the following for calculating the Income Tax.
1/3 of the total income subject to a maximum of Rs.

From Rs. 50,001 to Rs.
: 10% of the amount exceeding Rs. 50,000.
60,000
From Rs. 60,001 to Rs.
: Rs. 1,000 + 20% of the amount exceeding Rs. 60,000.
