"Standard Deduction is only for those earning โ‚น15.5L+"
Busting all myths on Personal Taxation from #Budget2023 ๐Ÿ‘‡
[1] Myth: Old Tax Regime has gone
FM said, "New tax regime will be the default regime"
This doesn't mean that old regime is out
Just that you'll have to declare to your employer & while filing ITR if you're opting the Old one
Otherwise tax will be calculated as per new regime
[2] Myth: Std Deduction is for those earning โ‚น15.5L+
FM said, "Those earning โ‚น15.5L+ will benefit by โ‚น52.5k"
She was comparing difference b/w New Regime until 31 Mar'23 vs going forward
Those who opt for new regime will get a std deduction of โ‚น50k, irrespective of income
[3] Myth: New Regime is the best always
If your income is 10L and you are:
A. Paying Rent/Interest on Home Loan of โ‚น2L
B. Investing in 80C-โ‚น1.5L
Your taxable income will be โ‚น6.5L
Old regime tax = โ‚น42.5+Cess
New regime tax = โ‚น60k+Cess
Income assumed net of Std Deduction
[4] Myth: Gains from Insurance Policy will get taxed
If your policy has been issued on or before 31 Mar'23, no tax applicable
Even if you buy new endowment policies on or after 1 Apr'23,
you won't be taxed unless sum of all policy premium is <โ‚น5L
[5] Confusion: What's the meaning of slabs:
๐Ÿ”ถโ‚น0-3L: 0%
๐Ÿ”ถโ‚น3-6L: 5%
๐Ÿ”ถโ‚น6-9L: 10%
when there's no tax till โ‚น7L
If you make till โ‚น7L, you'll be taxable at these rates
But get a REBATE (think tax exempt) and pay no tax
If you earn >โ‚น7L, you're taxable as per these rates
