Income Tax Act 1961: Heads of Income Classification

The Income Tax Act, 1961, provides a framework for taxing income earned by individuals and entities in India. A key aspect of this framework is the classification of income into distinct categories.

  • Salaries
  • Income from House Property
  • Profits and Gains of Business or Profession
  • Capital Gains
  • Income from Other Sources

Therefore, Section 14 classifies income under five heads of income.
