Answer 1

Since Mr. Grover is 62 years old (Senior Citizen), his taxable income being greater than ₹5,00,000.So, he has to pay the following taxes:
Income Tax = ₹10,000 + 20% of ₹2,50,000
= ₹10,000 + $\frac{20}{100}\times 250000$
= ₹10,000 + ₹50,000
= ₹60,000

Educational Cess = 2% of Income tax = $\frac{2}{100}\times 60,000$ = ₹1200
Secondary and Higher Education Cess = $\frac{1}{100}\times 60,000$ = ₹600

Total Tax he has to pay = ₹60,000 + ₹1,200 + ₹600 = ₹61,800.
