tax clat_ugMyth 1: “Tax Only Hits the Wealthy”
In reality, the Income Tax Act, 1961, taxes every income earner, no matter how small the amount. Section 139(1) mandates filing for individuals earning above the basic exemption limit. Even a freelancer earning ₹50,000 a month must file a return.

Stop trusting those shortcut notes for Article 268! CLAT expects you to actually read the Finance Act, not just memorize "income from business" tricks. I got stuck on Section 271H vs 271B for so long because I was relying on someone’s vague summary. Please, verify every ICAI reference with the bare act. If you can’t explain the provision in simple Hinglish to your junior, you don’t know it well enough. Trust process, not facts.
