On Tuesday, the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, presented the Union Budget 2024, which included notable changes to the income tax slabs of the New Tax Regime in a bid to give huge relief to people who are earning salaries and those who pay taxes. It is a strategy towards making taxation easier and increasing the number of taxpayers in India.

Revised Income Tax Slabs Under New Tax Regime

The revised tax slabs under the New Tax Regime

Income Tax Slabs (Rs)Income Tax Rate
0-3 lakh0%
3-7 lakh5%
7-10 lakh10%
10-12 lakh15%
12-15 lakh20%
15 lakh+30%

In addition to revising the tax slabs, the standard deduction limit for salaried individuals under the New Tax Regime has been increased from Rs 50,000 to Rs 75,000.

The Introduction Of The New Tax Regime

FM Sitharaman introduced the New Tax Regime in the Union Budget 2020-21. It was aimed at simplifying tax procedures and encouraging more people to pay taxes, especially the young generation who prefer spending rather than saving. In this regime, tax rates are lower but specific deductions and exemptions provided for under the Old Tax Regime are removed.

Comparison Between Old And New Tax Regimes

Historically, India has had a small number of taxpayers compared to its population. For example, in 2021-22 only 2.09 crore individuals filed their income tax returns which is around 2.2 percent of the voting population. In contrast, countries like the US and many European nations have over 50% of their populations paying taxes. The New Tax Regime came into force as part of an attempt to make taxation appealing and less complicated.

Old Tax Regime For Individuals Below 60 Years Of Age

Impact Of The Revised Tax Slabs

The changes declared in the Union Budget 2024 are likely to bring big relief to the salaried class as it will make the New Tax Regime more attractive. However, individuals can still choose between old and new regimes depending on their financial preferences or benefits.

Additional Announcements In The Union Budget 2024

In addition to the income tax changes, there were several important announcements made for different sectors in the Union Budget 2024:

  • ₹1.52 lakh crore for agriculture plus allied sectors.

  • Establishment of ten thousand bioresearch centres.

  • Supporting natural farming practices that will benefit crore farmers over the next two years.

  • Six crore farmers along with their land get included in the national farmer-land registry.
