Benefit from the Income
Tax sops announced by the Government..?
In the 2014-15 Budget
that was presented recently, it was announced that the income tax exemption
slab will be being raised from Rs. 2 lakhs per annum to Rs. 2.5 lakhs.
On July 10, during the
parliamentary session, while presenting the budget for the year
2014-15, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced that the non-taxable income
slab for individual tax payers has been raised from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs. 2.5
lakhs. Also, the maximum tax exemption of Rs. 1 lakh Under Section 80C has
been raised to Rs. 1.5 lakh. Interest deductions on home loan have been
increased from Rs. 1.5 lakhs to Rs. 2 lakhs.
Let us now make approximate calculations about the kinds of
benefits that taxpayers stand to get from these changes:
Raising the non-taxable income limit from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs. 2.5
lakhs gives a maximum tax savings of Rs. 5600 additionally.
Since the maximum tax exemption under Section 80C has been
raised to Rs. 1.5 lakhs, the tax payer gets to save Rs. 17,000 under certain
exemption categories.
Since the maximum exemption under home loan deduction has been
raised from Rs. 1.5 laksh to Rs. 2 lakhs, the taxpayer saves another 17,000.
