Here are the latest changes in the New Tax Regime:
Standard Deduction and Family Pension Deduction
In the case of salary income, the Standard Deduction of Rs 75,000, which was previously only available under the Old Tax Regime, was extended to the new tax regime. Under the New Tax Regime, you can enjoy a tax-free income of Rs 7.75 lakhs, which is after you apply the standard deduction and tax rebate.
Family pensioners can also benefit from this deduction. The limit of maximum Deduction under Family Pension has been increased from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000.
