Income Tax Slab & Rate for FY 2025-26

This is amazing.
From 24.89L total salary, you could bring it down to 14.39L with 9.82L deduction.
That 9.82 is what most people cannot achieve. Congrats.
It cannot be achieved unless some kind of ***** done. That's why asking for more details.

i corrected it, its 30L and above. but i have just mentioned 30L. I made a mistake while entering the gross salary
 
Yes. In that case benefits reduces. It starts reducing in percentage terms as we move further from 20L.

That also means you must have been deducting income by about 6.7 lakh that also a bit unusual.
Unusual? Try paying 65K rent per month and see where that lands you in HRA and then theres LTA, have you seen the air fare now a days? Try going on a trip with your family including your parents and see how much you can claim.

Yes, it's still unusual. Reason u already know. Hence, no comments.

For others, LTA can not be claimed all years. 65k house rent allowance is also a bit unusual for many in India.

But, I understand your point here. In short, now CAs have to do more hardwork to convince taxpayer to file in old regime citing how their talents benefiting their clients.

Finance ministry in fact haunting those clever guys. Now it will be easier to isolate them.
 
I am not sure abt it, but my ca made sure i paid less tax compare to new regime.

i had home loan, major part... also NPS, Insurance, PPF and few donations...
We all have these things, but unable to reduce taxable salary after upto certain amount, yes donation is one thing where many people save tax by showing high amount of donation, and paying less, and many people do that, I know, but apart from that it is very tough to bring it down.

Am I the only one who thinks all this is just a bait for everyone to switch to the new regime so they can shut down the old regime? Once they do this, they can do away with everything and tax the entire country on the income as much as they please. I won't be surprised if they just do away with all exemptions and tax everyone from Re.1 onwards.

new tax regime is inevitable. what they do after that only gods know.
Earlier, those exemption were there in our tax system for a reason, and govt wanted and incentivizing people to save money for their old age, emergencies, etc.

Present govt, systemically killing that and discouraging & penalizing people have any saving of their own, rather hand over all your money to the govt so that they can distribute that money to 90cr poor people, to keep them "alive" only to be used twice every 5-yrs for voting.

upper class = actual citizen.
middle class = tax minions
lower class = cannon fodder
 
Is new tax slab (12 lakh income with nil tax) applicable for HUF?
No. AFAIK It's for individual only. But, HUF can use same slab rate (latest) and deduction provisions. Only difference is 87a (rebate) not available.
