This is the biggest question. So the good news is that according to the new tax slab, the income tax of most people will be less than before.
Let us understand this by comparing the new and old tax slabs:
| Annual Income (New Slab) | New tax rate (2025 bill) | old tax rate |
| up to ₹4 lakh | 0% (no tax) | 0% up to ₹2.5 lakh |
| ₹4 lakh to ₹8 lakh | 5% | 5% from ₹2.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh |
| ₹8 lakh to ₹12 lakh | 10% | 20% from ₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh |
| ₹12 lakh to ₹16 lakh | 15% | 30% from ₹10 lakh to ₹15 lakh |
| ₹16 lakh to ₹20 lakh | 20% | 30% |
| ₹20 lakh to ₹24 lakh | 25% | 30% |
| above ₹24 lakh | 30% | 30% |
The 2 biggest benefits of the new bill:
- Big relief in 30% tax slab: Earlier, a hefty 30% tax was levied on income above ₹15 lakh, but now this limit has been increased to ₹24 lakh. This means that middle class and high salary people will get huge benefits.
According to an estimate, with these new changes your annual tax savings can be up to ₹ 1.14 lakh, which is a huge relief. You can spend this remaining money on your needs or invest it somewhere else.
Overall, this new income tax bill is a relief news for common taxpayers, the aim of which is to simplify the tax system and put more money in the hands of people.
