Disclaimer
Not a government app
Pannu Lekka is not a government app. It is not affiliated with the Income Tax Department or any government body. It uses no government emblem or logo, and it does not file returns, connect to the e-filing portal or show your tax records.
Estimate only, not tax advice
Pannu Lekka gives an estimate to help you compare the old and new regime. It is not tax advice and does not replace a chartered accountant. Your actual tax depends on facts the app cannot see.
Verify at the source
Before you act on a figure, check it with the department’s own calculator and pages at incometax.gov.in, or with your employer’s payroll team or a chartered accountant. The rules we use, and where each comes from, are on the page below.
What the result leaves out
The result covers salary, pension, family pension, interest, other income and one let-out house for a resident individual, for Tax Year 2026-27 only. It leaves out capital gains, business or professional income, agricultural income, non-residents, HUF and perquisite values. If you have any of these, the result can be wrong, and it is usually lower than your real tax.
Rules can change
Tax rules are rewritten from time to time. Pannu Lekka states the date its rules were last reviewed. A change after that date is not in the app until we ship an update.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for how you use the figures and for the return you file.
Accuracy
Every calculation in the app is tested against worked cases that we checked by hand against the rules. Even so, we cannot promise that the app is free of mistakes. If you find one, please tell us.
