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 read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
