Suppose you earn 7 lakhs this year but you have invested 5 lakhs for the long term in the stock market, then do you need to pay income tax (excluding gain tax)?

You will have to pay tax on the entire 7 lakhs now. The taxablity of the investment of 5 lakhs will become applicable only when you sell those investments later.

What is presumptive taxation under the Income Tax Act?

Presumptive taxation is a method of offering the profits on a presumptive basis rather than the actual basis. Under presumptive taxation, you can offer a specific percentage or fixed amount as income despite offering the actual income. For example if your Sales is 1 crore, you may offer 6% of the sales that is Rs.6 lakhs and pay tax based on that instead of offering the actual profits which may be higher say 30 lakhs.  Certain conditions are applicable for one to be eligible to opt for presumptive taxation which are detailed in sections 44 AD, 44 ADA and 44 AE.
