That is how the slabs search for FY 2024-25.

In case you are questioning what the change is, properly, the 5% slab is now uptil 7 lakhs (beforehand 6 lakhs) and equally 1 lakh has been elevated in 10% slab. The higher restrict of 15% and all different slabs remains to be the identical.

The previous tax regime saves tax solely those that have all of the deductions for HRA, House mortgage, LTA, Well being Insurance coverage, charity contributions.

Up to date Sense of Humour

The funds did one good factor. It push began the sense of humour of 1 salaried particular person. That is what it became. IT is floating on WhatsApp and due credit score to the one who made it.

I don’t need to be moist blanket however the one factor on the appropriate facet that must be clarified is that the set off provisions of capital losses and positive aspects are nonetheless legitimate.

So, when you have a loss in your long run funding then you possibly can set it off in opposition to long run acquire and thus keep away from paying any taxes to that extent.

However maintain the humour flowing!
