Six Key Features Of Budget 24-25

The Union Budget 2024-25 presented on July 23, 2024 set out a distinct futuristic vision for India, focusing on sectors, such as agriculture, employment, skilling, and urban development, among others.

The focus was on simplifying the tax law, ease of compliance, while also bringing about certainty.

In an effort to enhance the coverage of the new tax regime, the government increased the standard deduction on salary from ₹ 50,000 to ₹ 75,000, and on pension from ₹ 15,000 to ₹ 25,000. Along with a widened income tax slab, this will lead to a tax savings of ₹ 17,500.
