Given below is a hypothetical table showing rates of income tax for male citizens below the age of 65 years:
| Taxable income (TI) in ₹ | Income Tax in ₹ |
|---|---|
| Does not exceed Rs. 1,60,000 | Nil |
| Is greater than Rs. 1,60,000 and less than or equal to Rs. 5,00,000. | (TI - 1,60,000) x 10% |
| Is greater than Rs. 5,00,000 and less than or equal to Rs. 8,00,000 | [(TI - 5,00,000) x 20%] + 34,000 |
| Is greater than Rs. 8,00,000 | [(TI - 8,00,000) x 30%] + 94,000 |
Write a program to input the age, gender (male or female) and Taxable Income of a person.
If the age is more than 65 years or the gender is female, display “wrong category”. If the age is less than or equal to 65 years and the gender is male, compute and display the income tax payable as per the table given above.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class KboatIncomeTax
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter Gender(male/female): ");
String gender = in.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter Age: ");
int age = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter Taxable Income: ");
double ti = in.nextDouble();
double tax = 0.0;
if (age > 65 || gender.equalsIgnoreCase("female")) {
System.out.print("Wrong Category");
}
else {
if (ti <= 160000)
tax = 0;
else if (ti <= 500000)
tax = (ti - 160000) * 10 / 100;
else if (ti <= 800000)
tax = 34000 + ((ti - 500000) * 20 / 100);
else
tax = 94000 + ((ti - 800000) * 30 / 100);
System.out.println("Tax Payable: " + tax);
}
}
}
Enter Gender(male/female): male
Enter Age: 52
Enter Taxable Income: 769443
Tax Payable: 87888.6

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
