Key Changes in Budget 2024-25 & 2025-26

To provide relief to the middle class, the government has introduced significant updates to the New Tax Regime (Section 115BAC):

  • Increased Standard Deduction: Raised from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000 for salaried employees.
  • Enhanced Tax Rebate: No tax is payable for income up to ₹7 Lakh (FY 24-25) and effectively up to ₹12 Lakh (FY 25-26) under the New Regime due to Section 87A.
  • Revised Slabs: Tax bands have been widened to ensure lower tax outgo for the ₹10L–₹15L income bracket.

New Tax Regime vs. Old Tax Regime: Which is Better?

Choosing between the two depends entirely on your investments.
