Moving towards realizing “New India” --- Here are the Highlights of Interim Budget 2019.

• Announcing the Interim Budget, acting finance minister Piyush Goyal proposed that individuals earning up to Rs 5 lakh would get a full tax rebate. This will provide tax saving of up to Rs 12,500 for all taxpayers in this bracket. Those who save more can effectively push this rebate up to an income of Rs 6.5 lakh.

• Since there is no change in slab, this is a rebate then it will not Impact the tax Incidence of those with larger incomes though it will be beneficial to salaried persons as they can add home loans and tuition fees to get additional benefits.

• Benefit to the assesse having Gross Income up to 6.5 Lakhs if make Investments in provident funds, specified savings, insurance etc may not required to pay tax.

• TDS threshold on interest earned on bank/post office deposits is being raised from 10,000 to 40,000. This will benefit small depositors and nonworking spouses. Finance Minister had in Budget 2018 introduced a standard deduction of Rs. 40,000 for the salaried class. This additional deduction was proposed in lieu of existing deductions of Rs 15,000 for medical reimbursement and Rs 19,200 for transport allowance.

• Further, the TDS threshold for deduction of tax on rent is proposed to be increased from 1.8 lakh to 2.4 lakh for providing relief to small taxpayers.
