It is time India started indexing tax slabs and exemptions with inflation

Live Mint  

NEW DELHI : One of the big stories of the Indian economy has been the sharp increase in personal income tax collections. As the government’s revenue from personal income tax rises, it will likely face greater scrutiny and higher taxpayer expectations regarding the tax system's efficiency, transparency, stability, and fairness. The old tax regime evolved over several decades, allowing individuals to claim various deductions and exemptions under different sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The new tax regime, introduced in the Union Budget 2020-21, offers a simplified tax structure with lower tax rates for the same income level but does away with most exemptions and deductions. To encourage the adoption of the new personal tax regime, the budget 2024 rationalized the tax slabs to provide additional tax benefits up to a maximum of ₹17,500.
